I watched the skyline spill its light
Flashing moments gone from sight
Breath held in like it might save
The memories it cannot wave
Some things vanish with the tide
Can’t rewind them even if you tried
Your feet are stuck the clock won’t pause
Time
She whispers her applause
Don’t blink you’ll miss it
Time’s a thief but can’t resist it
Hold it close it won’t stay still
Chasing highs that always spill
Rustling leaves a fleeting sound
Last laugh echoing all around
A candle burned but never tamed
The wick consumed not a tear remained
Sunsets fade into empty skies
Catch the hue before it dies
Life slips fast behind closed doors
Flashes of a tale you can’t ignore
Don’t blink you’ll miss it
Time’s a thief but can’t resist it
Hold it close it won’t stay still
Chasing highs that always spill
