Time's Regret
There’s something very determined
In the way time moves
I always wonder
Where it’s trying to go
Because it races for no reason
Sweeping the world
Constantly cleaning
Constantly creating
Constantly impatient
There’s something
Restless since it never stops
Something relentless
It never gives up
The associated frustration
And all those regrets
There’s something unforgiving
About the way it goes by
It’s not your friend
Not much of an enemy
But a stranger that controls
Your entire destiny
Like they say
Stop running, enjoy the scenery
Someone should tell time
It might finally see
In all its swiftness
The damages and lost opportunities
Maybe even the beauty
It left behind called history
And might even say
“How I wish I waited
Maybe to change and
To have enjoyed the scenery”.
