Time Lapse

I have seen time lapsing
and slowing,
as I try to hold back
your tears

I wasn’t the one,
you knew it but weren’t prepared,
like the land that isn’t ready for rain
and young for the inevitable death

still we played with fate
laughed at the fading dreams
for eternity and what extends
and waited for nothing,
