empty . every conversation sucks me dry . words free of emotion . why do you insist . why do you toy

Time, the only true fluid
that exists on this world.
The only thing that flows
and flows, and flows.
Yet we attempt to stall
this force with mere thoughts,
memories embedded in
our hearts and mind.
Images captured in episodes of jest.
Life divided, as you remember
time you had your first/
time you had your last/
time that broke you down/
time that you were lifted up/
time you took that step/
time you had to step back/
time to strive/
time to sacrifice/
time to forget/
time to cherish/
time to speak up/
time to listen/
time to reflect/
time to forget/
time to move on.
