TIME

It is something that I have never understood.

The face beneath the dark hood.

It flies away when I try to hold it dear!

And drags when from my eyes falls a tear.

Time and you go hand in hand,

Falls from my hand like sand.

I try to hold on to you and make you see,

How good were the times when it was just you and me.

But your hand is fast slipping away,

I try to grip hard but it crumbles away.

You disappear in the mist surrounding you.

And am left alone clutching the memories shared by you.

I fight with the mist trying to bring you back,

But time smiles at me and says I don't have the knack.

What we had is past now.

And nothing can bring you back I don't know how!

I fall on the ground bruising myself,

As time flies by and there is no one to help!
