Stop for no one

Time steals from itself
erodes into nothingness
little girl lost
oceans tossed
ascending the stairway to the past
water disturbance fast
depleting time
decomposing life
ignoring all facets of what is
storm rising
girl crying
she waits for no one
but life prevails
tic-toc
tic-toc
never to slow, reverse or stop
even for the weakest
the prettiest
or the ill-fated...
