I will be there,
Though you'll never see me.
I am worse than death,
Yet I am all you have.
I hold the stopwatch of your life in my hand,
As I stand before the sea.
Waves crashing against the rocks,
Flinging seaspray into the air.
I stand there.
It is your choice what you do with what I give you.
I will not console you,
Only watch silently from my high pinnacle.
Waiting,
Never to reach out when you fall,
For what am I?
But an indefinite progress of existence.
I hold the stopwatch of life.
