No time
Time passes without notice, lost forever
Wasted seconds turn to minutes
And minutes to hours, just gone
Yet in our lives we never have time
No time to call or visit loved ones
No time to work on ourselves
Blaming time as it continues to pass
As if stopping its passing would change the result
We all have time for the things we like to do
But no time for the things we don't
Eventually there will be no time left
Then it will no longer be an excuse
But for now, it continues to pass
Lost forever, without notice
About this poem
Not sure about this one. Not one of my best. Did not flow like they sometimes do. Seemed a bit forced.
