i made time cry

the day i made time cry
it was the night before my birthday
i told time i was not going to
celebrate this time
i was going to stay
the same age
and time cried

the day i made time cry
it was the middle of the year
i told time i was going into
the new year 6 months early
i was going to leave
the next 6 months behind
and time cried

the day i made time cry
it was new years eve 11:59pm
i told time
i decided to stay behind
and live the year over
i wanted to take my time
make things right
and time cried

the day i made time cry
i told time
i would live a few minutes ahead of now
arrive early so i could see things coming
i would live a few minuets later than now
arrive late so i could see what just happened
i would live in-between here and now
so i would just be and not be
and time cried

time past me by
i waited
time never came back
i could not see time standing in front of me
i backed up and tripped over time
i almost fell in the past
i was afraid to go forward
frozen in time
time left me behind
this time I cried
