Time,
Do you think me a fool?
You've healed me many times
But I see the knife you hide behind my back
When you teach me a lesson
You leave a scar
When you grant me hope
You set it on the edge of a downhill *****
Both womb and grave, who are you really?
Maybe,
You are the one-way corner that never ends
Maybe,
You are the bringer of both trust and despair
What I do know is this,
You unfold like an illusion
One I cannot see up ahead
I only glimpse you in my rear-view mirror
Sometimes as could-have-been's and regret
I paint myself onto your canvas
A story of victory and defeat
What choice do I have?
Even kings bow to your might
Only you can bring about
The tides, darkness, and the light
As you whisper softly in my ear
"Come see what happens..."
I wonder
Is it you, or my senses
That are playing tricks on me?
This I say to you,
Now that my blood debt has been paid in full:
Though I will always miss you
And want to keep you around
I will never again take you for granted
So go ahead,
I'm ready
I don't need your mercy
Come get me!
