Time-Torn

Unspoken expectations were lost in the turn of
Time, as too quickly it caught us by surprise,
Taking advantage of our foolish
Notions of eternity, of immortality.
These moments yet to be experienced
Hung over our heads, dark clouds of
Anticipation, exploding with electric anxiety.

Obstacles in the road slowed our journey
As Time crept, a ravenous predator, toward our
Shared memories, while we were so naïve,
Blind to the plight of our long-cultivated bond.
With outstretched claws Time snatched our lives,
Hope was lost to the ticking of a clock, but we,
Shocked, could only tremble in silence.

In the vacuum around us we made not a sound,
Besides such futility perishes in that emptiness,
Only internal cries of desperate loneliness
While words were trapped in an iron grip.
Still rocked by violent tremors we staggered apart,
Our constant magnetism forever reversed,
For Time had its way with the world.
