QuoteTime's relentless march
Echoes through the halls
Of those I love

Their steps grow slow
Their voices dim
The wound that won't heal setting in

We plan for comfort
Not for cure
The hourglass empties

The end's a story yet untold
But why does fear grip tight?
The wound that won't heal leaves no one behind

I wonder when my time will come
Will it be slow or swift and numb?
That moment when hope slips away

We're scared when we know
That options have faded and we're alone
The wound that won't heal is coming for us all

Why do we fear the unknown date?
Every second lived is a victory won
Against the setting of our sun

So live and love while time allows
For every moment seals our fate
With that one last wound that won't mend

Isn't every breath we take
A gift that time cannot erase?
With countless memories to transcend

We dance on the edge
Of a future undefined
But the wound that won't heal leaves no one behind
