Time- oblong, like a pear,
Not rounded like an orange-
Ideal or faultless in shape,
Not ample, sweet-less after a period of time.
Time- our worst enemy, yet we can't have enough of it,
It steals from us every day-
Moments- lost in time,
Every breath taken- pocketed by time.
Time, again, like a pear, is not perfect,
Although sweet when picked just after it's ripening,
It turns sour and shrivels as time steals from its freshness.
Oblong, like a pear- time.
