"Time Waits for No One"

Run a little bit faster--
Catch up, because you're far behind.
Spread your wings, shake off that dew,
Time never treated anyone so kind.
Your broken heart is falling--
Pick up the pieces, they're underfoot.
Hurry now as you keep chasing;
Time won't wait for you to look.
Stretch a little farther ahead--
You might reach with just your fingertips.
Like the shadow you fear you're running after,
Time doesn't slow if you let it slip.
Your voice is screaming loudly--
It's getting lost in all the noise around you.
Out of breath, you gasp in silence, still,
Time never stays to see what you will do.
Search a little more--
You're not quite there just yet.
Hold tight the memories, they're all you have since
Time was never kind enough to let you forget.
