When?

T.V. compares nothing
To the time I lost today
With T.V. you remember
How the times just slipped away

I know that hour came and went
Though nothing fills my mind
What happened with that time I spent
Shall memories never find

The emptiness is pure
Never again to be filled
My minds completely blank
The cup of that hour was spilled

Yet I can remember that
I have forever lost that hour
