Time Within Poem by Joshua Hillard

It's crazy how time,
Can destroy within minutes,
Always lost in those moments,
Every time you are in them.

Then it fades a gray,
Black as seas to death,
I close my eyes to hide the tears,
Exhausted, and short of breath,

Premonitions fluttering past,
My future is in debt,
You took so much, left so little,
Here I am with nothing left.

Rehab recovery in my own heart,
A joke in a matter so little to you,
Whereas my life was peaked to excel,
Left me with time that was so untrue.

Here's my heart rotting within time,
Captured by hate in a single clock,
The needles fastened, the numbers rust,
Ticking away as my heart begins to stop.

You wrecked the world and seized within,
Closed by a lock only you hold the key,
Never to be free, pain free status quo,
And it's life, you've taken from me...
