Time is an evil thing
The dark and desolate hands of the clock reach out and grab you by the throat
Pulling you farther and farther away from the life you thought you had
The life you enjoyed living blissfully carefree
The life you didn’t cherish enough
Because you were too young to know what would happen
When time curled its tongue
Dripping with sorrow
And exposed its jarring teeth
To bite you
And make you abruptly realize
That it would chase you every single day of your life
Faster and faster as it waits to strike again for the final time
You find out that every moment you experience is temporary
Nothing ever lasts
And it can never last
Because of time
And just before the sand in the hourglass comes to a stop
Only then
Do you realize
How lucky you were
Before the demon found you
