Pinged

She was pinged by the guilt

Of wanting quiet and peace

She wanted some time 

So all the noise would cease

She was pinged by the pressure

To be entertained

By all the old stores and the games

 That once reigned her brain

The woman was far gone

And the girl didn't see

For all she wanted to do

Was sit and watch TV

But she was pinged by the look

On the old woman's face

And the memory of every

Long lost embrace

The woman was left 

In a mind that was lost

To all her old age

And she was paying cost

The old woman didn't get

That the girl was still hurt

But it didn't mean that the girl

Could ignore her like dirt

So the girl played the games

For she was pinged by the guilt

For she couldn't just leave 

The great love that she'd built
