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.
