Klepto
After all these years
it's my belief
based on experience
time is a thief
all wounds it heals
they say but in truth
it took my looks
purloined my zeal
and stole my youth
no matter the cost
come what may
I'm at a loss
what can I expect today
a past that won't last
or linger longer any more
and with or without me
life goes on as before
when at large guilty as charged
stealing's a sin nicking a crime
to make it stick it admits as shown
it's known as 'the nick of time'
