Time

What are you really?
Relative…
So they say.
Sometimes an ally;
Sometimes the enemy.

You rule my life,
When really you rule nothing.
How can so much hinge?
On what does not exist.
Through temporal planes;
Through each dimension,
You simply shift…
The masks you wear.

Apparent yet abstract,
You tease of tangibility.
Yet only a tease;
Faithful to no one.
Loyal to yourself…
If ever you were a person,
Surely you’d be a sociopath.
I will never understand you.

Sometimes the enemy;
Sometime an ally.
So they say.
Relative…
What are you really?
