Time

The mundane future
Gives hope to a dying past
Everyone tries to nurture 
Something that just doesn’t last

Unwilling to lose hope
For a world ever too fast
Unable to cope with
Something that just doesn’t last

Over and over again
Time seems to have passed
Unaware of exactly when
It became something that just doesn’t last

While it may seem gloomy
It was never meant to be vast 
Time was always
Something that just doesn’t last
