Time

It'll eat away at everything. Everything! It doesn't care, what's love got to do with it right?! Love, relationships, friendships, life - gone! Off with their head! The axe comes slowly and savours every second. The shudder of the guillotine is temporary but the cut is permanent.

They say time will heal all. Bullshit. Time is the one thing that makes sure that nothing can heal, makes sure that all who are, eventually will not be.

It's the reason we keep running. We try to beat it even though we know we can't. We try and race the sun but even as we see it coming up behind us again we go on for some reason. Why?! Why would the supposedly most intelligent race in the universe even attempt to beat something that transcends even the universe itself?

Time makes the very act of living hard. It suits itself and no one else. An oak tree takes a hundred years to grow. It takes about a hundred seconds to be felled. Time is probably the second most  sadistic, universal presence ever. Don't even get me started on the first. Ironic that Time should come second huh? Like i said it suits itself. It's the immortal little girl playing hopscotch, merrily hopping around the path cobblestoned by the lives it has reduced to nothing but a stone tablet sticking out of the ground. And over time, even the stone will crumble and fall to pieces.
