Time slipped faster than
thoughts I could catch
Between the lighter flame
and the last ember of the cigarette
my mind fired rounds of blanks
I wondered if time held its integrity
or served a meaningless purpose
Either way
I am more wasteful
and careless

What a beautifully written piece, the emotion is truly palpable. I especially love the first stanza, well done ๐ค๐ค

Time just moves and move. You can’t catch it, just have to flow through and with it. Good work!
