Time, why do you run from me
destroying everything
I’ve tried so hard to build?
Why do you tease me
gifting precious moments
only to rip them away?
Why do you play your evil game
causing the people I love
to suddenly disappear?
Why do you hate me
stealing my happiness
each time you move your hand?
Time, you are my enemy
Im constantly fighting
to hang on to the moments
I know you soon will steal.
So I desperately beg you
“please time please
be on my side
why can’t you just once
let him stay
I love him too much
don’t play your cruel game”
but you turn with a grin
and move your sly hand
I’m defeated again.
I know its too late
with tears in my eyes
I look at my love
and watch you laugh
as you steal him away.
