Time is passing by

Faster than the spend of light

All is gone

And we don’t know why

Time can be full of sadness

Time can be full of grief

But why it has to leave so fast

Is beyond anyone’s belief

Time can heal

And time can destruct

When it comes to time,

Unneeded is luck

Time doesn’t care

If you’re young or old

It will destroy you

As you fit to the mold

Time is a main factor of life;

It kills you slowly

Sometimes I wonder why,

But I think time gets lonely

Many emotions

Flying through her head

Wishing, hoping, praying

That he wasn’t really dead

Tears ran down her face

As they rolled the stretcher past

Thinking of the talk they had

Not knowing it would be their last

She wrapped the ring in her hand

That he had given her, hours before

Wishing, hoping, prating

That the promise hadn’t slipped out the door

Days later, she stood by the stone

Tears ran down her face

As many moments flashed before her eyes

He was gone; no replace

A girl

Walks a long the street

Heading off to face

One of many nightmares

And she wears

Her long sleeves

Even through the heat

To cover up the scars

Of her only escape

She carries a burden so heavy

That cripples her more with each step

And with each little bit,

There’s a little less of her left

She wants to escape

And fly into the sunrise

But that she can’t do;

Her wings have not yet arrived

And she waits for that day

When she can fly away

And never have to feel the pain

But that day is still yet to come

So she just continues,

She struggles on

To face

That hatred, every day

With her only way

Her only escape

From the pain

Hidden

She continues on

She struggles on

Until

            she

                          flies

                                       away

It’s funny when you think about it

How life used to be

To remember what it’s like

How you got from point A to point B

To remember every memory

Through the good and through the bad

To think through everything

About the life you had

But it’s scary when

You’re at the end

You’re staring down the cliff,

About to jump,

Your life is up,

So now it’s time to die,

You look over your past,

You savor each moment,

And wish it all would last

You wish you could have another chance

To redo all your life

And solve all the mistakes you made

And realize sometime your life will stop

Sooner or later,

There is an end

To stop that ticking clock

And wish you had followed that saying

You heard preached many a way

Carpe diem,

Seize the day
