Time
Childhood seems to last forever
A golden glow of innocence
Stretching through time like pulled taffy
But the taffy grows thinner
Pulling taught
Just a thread
In the center a hole appears
Growing,
Eating away
Until the taffy snaps
Childhood is over
And the future looms
Fast and near
Like death, hungry to collect
Days speed by
Sand through an hourglass
Untouchable
Ever dwindling away
Every time I close my eyes
I lose another precious second
I grasp and try to cling on,
Desperate,
But I am shaken off
By the furious pace of
Time's snorting, rearing steeds
Galloping like Gorgons from Hell
Dragging my time away
A golden glow of innocence
Stretching through time like pulled taffy
But the taffy grows thinner
Pulling taught
Just a thread
In the center a hole appears
Growing,
Eating away
Until the taffy snaps
Childhood is over
And the future looms
Fast and near
Like death, hungry to collect
Days speed by
Sand through an hourglass
Untouchable
Ever dwindling away
Every time I close my eyes
I lose another precious second
I grasp and try to cling on,
Desperate,
But I am shaken off
By the furious pace of
Time's snorting, rearing steeds
Galloping like Gorgons from Hell
Dragging my time away

God I'm macabre. Can't I ever write anything happy for once? I keep finding all these poems I wrote at school, and they are all like this.Ah well.
This one is an example of my Peter Pan Complex. Could you tell?
I'm getting a bit better at this poetry thing, but it's still pretty weak. I don't even like poetry. Go figure.
