Time's Greatest Foe

A waster and a murderer,
I didn't even give it a chance.
I failed it and failed myself
without even a second glance.
I didn't care what the consequences
but rather went on my way.
I didn't show any remorse
or sorrow any moment of the day.
I can't say I didn't think about it
before the deed was completed.
I tried to lie there and slide by
knowing that it couldn't be cheated.
It knew what I was doing all the while,
trying to prolong the inevitable,
but I moved too slowly to change a cruel fate
and now have accomplished the unfathomable.

I always thought it would be on my side
and never once doubted,
but now the truth I once denied
can no longer be clouded.
All second chances and repentance
are out the door with hopes and dreams
as now the time that was once for me
will forever be lost in regret's screams.
