Time doesn’t wait
She flows.
If I could
I would hold her
Enough just to
Capture
The way your arms felt
As they covered my heart
In a blanket of shelter
Time doesn’t wait
Sometimes she runs
You think you can catch her
Maybe even run by her
You reach for her hand
But she’s miles ahead.
Time doesn’t wait
Sometimes she stops.
Never where you’d like.
Just enough to remember
The cries and the pain
A pain so unbearable.
Time doesn’t wait
Sometimes she goes backwards
Retracing your steps
Replaying your last words
Time doesn’t wait.
But I wish that she would.
