Life hurts

It's no use me saying " don't age " cos you do  
and you'll never know how vast is this gap,  
between me and well,' this me, who, once was you,  
I'm sorry hon age is just a freaking trap!  
   
Just ditch the fun cos there's no wisdom gained    
it's just regrets piled on top of regrets,  
how can I help you, when that me aimlessly aimed  
us, ourselves, down life and just gained life's debts.  
   
And now those debts, with interest, are due  
and I'd be lying if I said, they don't hurt,  
but it's a mental hurt so, nothing new,  
perhaps they are our, mine, your, just deserts?  
   
If you could hear me you wouldn't even fear  
But, sorry hon, you'd be instantly here.

It's from a comp prompt. it's not what was asked for
but it set me off. " Inspired ? " silly word, it set me off!
