Time

Time, let me be. I found a moment of peace, and your seconds have stolen first thoughts of silence.

Time, let me be. I felt the sorrow that my soul seeks deep, but your hands crushed my calm without course.

Time, let me be. I fear your friend fate has forsaken my flaws, and smothered my flames of hope with waves of reason.

Time, let me be. You have me, so let me be free.
