Nihilist

I was gifted a watch today

An item of an illusion

Created by the human mind

To craft our graves

And to let us know

We're always running out

Of time

I can't stop staring at it

Not because of its platinum shine

or its golden traces

but because of each second I stare

of each second I wait

is another second I could have used

To save lives

To cure darkness

To spend a different way

A better way

Time is restricted

It is a sinking pool

Falling into an abyss

It brings you to life

Only to torture you of its existence

Before it kills you

For time is an undefeated enemy

A maniac of suffering

Yet we placed it here

It ticks for our fears

It haunts us when we sleep

It reminds us that we

Are the sinking pool

Drowning in anxiety

Leaving our dreams

To those who suffer after us

For the ones who can withstand

The truth of age

Structures of their image

Monuments of their power

Until time is able to chip the stone

And rise its abyss

From the ocean of the past

To the highest of buildings

For our future will be taken

To become a new horizon
