Analysis of Time



Is working on us

although,
it’s not the enemy.

Trying to find answers
to the questions.

Of what’s going on
between you and me?

Sometimes,
you pull me up so close

i can hardly breathe.

Then, push me away
Only to find your mood has changed

Then, you don’t want me-to leave.

Make up your mind…

Don’t waste!
Time
