It draws nearer the threat looming over me I can't stop it It never stops chasing me It comes with regret and choices, consequences and feelings. It grows shorter but always comes You can't stop it. No one can. The only relief you can get from it, is finally death The flowers age, building crumble from under its weight, rocks erode, skin wrinkles. And old memories fade. The future comes. And time passes. It's never ending and always comes. Your time shortens and it ends. Your future will bring you joy. Your future will bring you pain. But it is YOURS. Do what you will with it.
