Silver Strings
Time
Time is a precious thing
Color like silver
Looks like a string
It comes and goes
In an interval of circles
Dancing around our world
Never still
It only kills
Overtime, everything dies
Quietly, Patiently
It waits in place
Everything dies, nothing can survive
Youth is just a season
But sometimes there’s no reason
For the death of one
Time is just an absence
Flowing through our lives
Killing us, moon after moon
Taking life away
Shoving problems into a box for later
Time could be a great thing
Or it could be our mighty downfall
Sending us six feet below
Leaving us desolated
In our own minds
Screaming and howling
For sweet release
Unknown for those damned by time
Time full of pain
Time full of weakness
Time is our lives
Slowly, ever so slowly,
Ticking away
