Love and Time

March 5, 2015

love and time

are two that do not mix

they are the water and oil

of our tragic world

because all the hours

spent with your love

can truly never

feel like enough

it is merely grasping

onto your eternity

until your knuckles are white

then you must let go

and when the heart breaks

from a love lost too soon

this is when time slows

and lets you feel the void

so we chase this time

while we feel this love

and hope to never lose it

or feel the clock slow

we want these quick hours

with the one we love

because when time flies

we know we are lost in one another
