Not once have I ever questioned Why Humpty Dumpty sat on A wall. Not once did I ever question The size of his hat. Time is just one of those things Easily hard working, No matter how many times you Yell out wait, It just walks on. No matter how much you care, No matter how much you crave It’s touch. If you’re not careful, it’ll pass you by. Not once have I thought about The answers to any of these questions. It’s quite painful, To love someone risking the chance They might not love you back. It’s quite painful, To teeter totter on a wall. Even more fearful knowing That you might fall. But anything is better than Walking on eggshells

Eggman Blues
There’s still time. Despite it all, there’s time. Things I thought I’d someday do, I did. Gave up on forgotten goals. But, time. Time pursued me and called me. I heard. There’s still time! I’m always here! Do it! I did it. Without thinking, life lived. I did things I gave up on, in time.

There's Time
The day sits waiting in it's pear-shaped room, one of the vacant eyed occupants of other, older, occupied chairs. The day crosses it's knees, one leg over the other as a white flag, resignation. The day wants it's peace, it fought the world wars, caught it's reflection aged, tripped over itself calling itself out, a tripwire unravelled. This day knows it won't live tomorrow, knows it's wanted blind and poor, so waits waits in a waiting room, wasting the room's air in an exchange of silent blows. This day is counting down it's losses, putting all of it's seconds in a jam jar. And there are screams never externalised, legs never uncrossed, paperweights weighing less than those they push to the floor, and this day is screaming, this day is flailing from the inside out in the form of folded linen, inconspicuous on a plastic chair. This day holds up the moon, hears it's laughter and falls through the cracks in the tide. His knuckles aren't connected to his fingertips and shoulders feet apart from the spine, the spine crossing one leg over the other in a pear-shaped room with fingertips tapping at themselves, writhing into an hourglass formation. This day is holding up the walls. Count this day lost when your eyes skip it, miss it, dance past it in a waiting room. Count this day screaming when you wake up tomorrow.

We're losing days faster than the day is losing itself (Count each day lost).
Change is inevitable They say But this is questionable I dare say Past, present, future had, is, might a certain change of words yes you will see In past there exists an -ed Add this and it'll be history The present presents us with -ing Add this and it'll be a present thing To the future that is a mystery You need to add a certain uncertainty Might, Could, Would it can be But change is not for me The past, the present, the future Is just but mere words for me I have something that'll never change for sure Now I will tell you I have not loved I do not love I will not love Anyone but you And this was this is this will Always be true I have loved you I love you and I won't let a concept of mystery change that for the future is just a change in time And my love for you is already defined My love is not a function of time So it will never changed by times So my love will always be for you past, present, future participle might change but still it will always be you I tell you that's true I told you I am telling you I will tell you I love you
