Minutes tick away so fast
Hours spent and never last
Dreams we chase just fade too soon
Lost in a recurring tune
Days dissolve into the fray
Blur the lines no stop or stay
Clocks unravel threads of gold
Memories slip as we grow old
Time grows thin in icy haze
Echoes of the squandered days
Turning pages mind a maze
Wasted chances lost in craze
Moments caught in loops of grace
Yet we miss the fleeting face
Seconds gone can't be returned
Lessons of the lived unlearned
Ticking gears no cease no rest
Chasing dreams a futile quest
Can we grasp what quickly fades
Or are we lost in endless trades
Fractures of a life gone by
Questions asking always why
Can we break this endless fight
Find a way to set it right
