Time Always Wins

The White Rabbit 

caught up to him again

A ticking time bomb

went off 

taking out a few city blocks 

The moon fell 

out of the sky

The big guy is in heaven

 getting high 

The White Rabbit caught up to him again

and now she is gone

so gone

Tick-Tock 

is the name 

of the gator 

hunting Captain Hook

Tick tock 

goes the White Rabbit’s 

pocket watch 

The Reaper 

comes to collect 

his check 

An anxious rabbit 

is running late

A Gator’s stomach 

ticks

all while

nothing really 

sticks

No, nothing really stuck to him but her

and now 

She is gone

so gone

The seconds come 

and go

Life moves in ebbs

and flows 

He was flying too close 

to the sun

when the White Rabbit caught him again

The sun burned him before it set

teaching him a lesson 

he’ll never forget

he fell

he fell

he fell for her 

but nothing last forever

life is not a fantasy

nothing is perfect

but he still thought she was worth it 

he tried

he really tried to make love stick

but it didn’t

The White Rabbit 

caught him in the end

Tick-Tock, the alligator, ate him

The Reaper 

killed everything in him

and now

with the help of the Phoenix

he will be born again 

A ticking time bomb

went off 

taking out a few city blocks 

The moon 

fell out of the sky

The big guy is in heaven 

getting high 

The White Rabbit caught up to him again

and now she is gone

so gone

Time always wins.
