No Man's Land

Avoiding me, I cannot quite seem to catch you, You slithery fiend, in decision I choose to loathe you! Fatigued as I am, I chase ever after, Be gone my tired eyes and fade into the laughter, Walking empty streets until the sun doth shine, Until clouds beckon on a ribbon of yellow line, The beauty that is doth captivate so, An enemy, my timeless foe, Never have we once been a friend, But does it not depend? I cannot survive without thee, Until my dreams invade to set me free.

Nice piece of figurative writing.TIme is of essence we can't seem to catch it.TIme waits on one it keeps passing without us noticing it.
