Merciless Time

Listen I tell you
As time goes by,
The songbirds tune
Becomes a melancholy cry.

Watch as the skin
Becomes wrinkled and worn,
For the fabric of time
Can never be torn.

Feel the memories
Fade away,
The sunny blue skies 
Become a cloudy grey.

Time, precious time,
Is all that I need,
Oh time, why must you fly
At such a speed?
