He carries a scythe to cut you down
Hard and fast while in the prime of life.
I tried to chase after you in my clumsy disjointed fashion,
But you never turned back to see.
It never leaves you no mater the size or the weight,
Once it’s created with enough pressure
It forms a scar that you take with you ever after.
People never leave your life as quietly as they enter.
It is possible to lose yourself in future plans
To hide from the reality that tomorrow is only a day away.
You find the it needs space,
You give it an office,
Or it takes the living room.
One doesn’t give the truth to another
When they continue to lie to themselves.
The dog days never leaveeeeee,
They chase you throughout your life
Always nipping at your heal.
Yesterday’s debts are never cashed out;
They lurk in the shadows on the summer afternoon
Waiting for just enough darkness to come back to retrieve its pound of flesh.
Nothing changes while you remain the same.
Where do you find change
When you wear the same skin day after day,
You can never outrun yourself.
Keep looking for a beginning
But none are found
When you have gone past the finish.
