Time By Toriii

Time has always been cruel 

So the poets say. 

It rips apart families

And lovers. 

Rivers of tears and mountains of lies

Time has once again done its job.

 

Is ruin time’s true fate? 

Or have we caused it? 

Was it fate for time to be an enemy? 

Or is it punishment to us? 

After all, we as humans are cruel 

Millions of nights ago 

We lived as we pleased in a timeless loop

Never worrying for anything. 

 

Of course time would’ve become an enemy. 

I think of time not cruel but kind

Time is a friend to all.

It reminds you to cherish her 

Because she will be gone tomorrow 

It preaches the act of doing good 

Because at one point

When time has run out, 

You will have to pay before him.
