Time Goes By

by ·

7/14/2018
As time goes by
And the night draws nigh
I hear your shy
I hear your cry

The lights dim low
All too slow
I watch your mind go
To a place only you know
Until one final blow
Puts an end to the show

The night carries on
For far too long
Something’s wrong
You know something’s wrong
The curtains un-drawn
You can’t see the dawn

On the horizon’s edge
Just beyond the ledge
Awaits a pledge
It straddles the edge

Between dark and light
Day and night
Flee and fight
comfort and fright

Shot like a gun
You race toward the sun
Ready to be done
But power you have none
