Time Takes What Time Never Gave

Time did as time does and flew on by It left me with a distant stare wondering, but why? With brittle bones and shades of grey All time had in me was just another prey Its countdown instantaneously set aglow Its renewing and degenerating flow a deathblow Released from its death grip now taking shape My heart beats in the wind like a flying cape Time dictates as grey cover arrests a bright shiny day It flies freely as white clouds along the blue sky My heart is collecting in the silver ashtray As I smoke a pack forest fires everyday I’ve clocked some irrational fears More than once, sold and bought into pointless ideas Where did it all go, this time I need to be brave? Because time takes what time never gave
