Time

It is our greatest enemy Killing us all gradually Try as you may you can't get away It will take all of us someday For most it will come too soon Like the sunrise or new moon We stay just ahead of the shadows they cast Like knowing the future but not the past Some will mistake it for a friend Never suspecting the bitter end It leaves scars on some, others bruises A few it doesn't touch at all, just confuses You can't fight it or push it back The weapons needed we simply lack Down in the hole impossible to climb There's nothing you can do when its your time
