Time, oh time, you elusive dance,
My constant companion, a fickle chance,
Sometimes my enemy, sometimes my friend,
Time, oh time, my constant companion,
A never-ending cycle, until the end.
You speed away, slipping through my grasp,
Yet, at times, your march seems to collapse.

A friend when cherished moments take flight,
An enemy when sorrows linger in the night,
you move too fast and sometimes seem to stand still,
You weave a tapestry of memories untold,
A never-ending cycle, as life unfolds.

Tears, oh tears, a river from within,
My release and burden, the truth I’ve seen,
To be with you, yet to be by myself,
Tears, oh tears, my release, and my burden,
For what I want, I cannot help.
I lock you away, afraid to let you show,
Yet, you speak volumes of joy and woe.

Should I embrace your healing flow,
Or hide you, as I’ve learned to do so?
you speak of pleasure and of pain,
In your shimmer, my heart’s tale you tell,
The emotions I bear, are a fragile shell.

Wanting, oh wanting, a heart’s divide,
To be with you, or seek solace inside,
I hide away or should I let go,
Wanting, oh wanting, my heart’s desire,
A reflection of what I cannot show.
In this battle, I wrestle and sway,
Yearning for love, yet needing my own way.

Asking, oh asking, the eternal why,
In quest of answers that make me sigh,
It’s a battle that I cannot win,
Some truths lie beyond our reach,
Mysteries of life that words cannot teach.

I’ll cherish the moments, embrace the tears,
Accept the wanting, face the fears,
Why things are the way they are,
answers may not come so easily,
some things are beyond us, by far.
For Time, oh Time, you will continue to spin,
In this enigma of life, I’ll find strength within.

A paradox I face, I cannot deny,
My heart’s desires, like stars in the sky,
Asking, oh asking, the question that lingers.
Yearning and seeking, a constant pull,
What I want, I cannot always control.
