It comes like a tornado

Destroying every credo

It tears apart families

An infinite number of casualties

Those that get left behind

Never get realigned

Stuck in the past

Their demons never let them pass

The clock’s pendulum swings to and fro

Tick tock it will go

Time goes slow, time goes fast

But they are still lost in the past

The lights will flicker, on and off

Those unaware will simply scoff

But you and I know that time is no mate,

It moves at an alarming rate, it won’t wait

And if I too, in this havoc, get lost

Promise that you won’t greet me with indifferent frost

And if I too lose my way in the sea of pitch black

Promise that you won’t leave me alone in the wreck

And if I too become a wandering soul

Promise me that you will bring me back
