time is a funny thing
you want to have it on your side
but is it ever really?
you want to rewind it sometimes, too
add more of it to your life's queue
find it in places it never should have existed
seek more of it between the two of you
in hopes that it changes the course of things
but it just isn't something one can control
a total wildcard
the most independent of things
it just won't bend to be your friend when you want it
or your ego screams that you need it
it's bittersweet
just like meeting you
up against a strict timeline
and untimely controls
you let your fear win
but i can't be mad at you
i've let fear win, too.
too many times.
ride as fast as you can
they're shooting to kill.
