Against Time

1 min read
It seems like there is never enough time
Enough to get anything done 
Enough to enjoy anyone
Enough to relax in a moment
Enough to even smile

I spend most of my time running around in circles
Running against the clock
Running errands for someone else
Running to take care of things
Running to make it before it's too late

If all I had was a moment in time
I wouldn't know what to do with it
I wouldn't know who to share it with
I wouldn't know to appreciate it
I wouldn't know it was all I had

My time is always spent
Always wasted
Always missed
Always regretted
Mostly remembered
But never mine

I have followed you forever in this abyss.
You and I chasing phantoms of light.
Each of us hoping for a moment off clarity.
Even so, we will never see the morning.

In this eternal night, we hear eachother cry
But never see the other's tears.
The lies we tell eachother 
We say aloud only to convince ourselves

Just how far have we travelled in this maze? 
In this hollow void; this hole never-ending
How long have we wandered aimlessly;
Have we forgotten what purpose there was?

What despair lies here within me
Trapped forever in this conundrum
Even if I were to reach out and touch you
Would it be you whose warmth I think I feel?

To open my eyes to the light 
As painful now; my heart so adjusted
To feel the warmth of the world I'd forgotten
I must make a choice to break in two

My soul, once dreary, not wasted fully
My ears still long for melody of truth
I must return to the world beyond us
Yet I leave my heart in darkness with you
