Our Time

Time makes me wait,
Then it pulls you away,
Like the moon pulls the 
tide from the shore.
It's cruel like that,
Not a care in the world,
Yet I wait and I wait once
More.                  

Time is a coward,
So afraid to be late,
That it hurries you away
Without sound.
It's cruel like that,             
No compassion or thought,
The one thing to which we are 
bound.                
                  
Time is a constant companion,
Always just one step ahead
until we need it to hurry,
Then it stops in its tracks
and plays dead.
