Time ticks away the seconds it feels it can waste

While I am having conversations with hurry and haste

Time slowly ticks, unbothered by my urgency

Uncaring if this were coffee or an emergency

Time waits, for itself and that is it

Corroding memories until we forget

History has met time and got defeated

His mere mention, gets the future heated

But time doesn’t care

He doesn’t play fair

He moves as he sees fit

So my only option is to sit

And watch time tick away the seconds he feels he can waste

While I am having conversations with hurry and haste

His fingers glide over a plastic backdrop

Yet we fear the day time will stop

Something so simple holds us in its palm

Unable to win this battle, so we remain calm

For what is there to do, when time looks at you

And you have found more than a clue

That time is mocking you

When you’re bored he waits alongside you

When you are having fun, he tries to rush you

For time, everything and nothing is true

But now I simply sit, and try to remember a time, time didn’t run me

But he even corroded that damn memory

So here I sit, simply waiting till it’s time for me go
