Only Time Will Tell

Maybe, in time I will not feel

Those scars tattooed on the keel of the clock

Expanding with moments the reel of an ocean

Shaped with the motion of tick and tock

Maybe, in Time I can say without sorrow

That once we were more than a whisper or two

Before the ever overbearing tomorrow

Insisted I borrow blue echoes of you

Maybe in time I will brave the full impact

Of remnant reasons shaped into farewell

Maybe the barge of an hour will conquer

What I cannot; only Time will tell
