Twice

Hours and hours pass on by
Infinity by seconds
The past is catching up to me
The future comes to reckon

My judgement wasn’t always clear
I didn’t take advice
I don’t believe it’s a mistake
Unless you make it twice

The clock ticks down the minutes
As the minutes turn to days
Eternity has always been
The temptress of our ways

The promise of eternal youth
The fountain of my vice
It’s not a sin to drink from it
Unless you drink it twice

Forgive me from
All that I’ve done
I didn’t do it twice

The time has come
To pay the price
I’ll have to pay it twice.

Lovely poem. It gives me something to think about concerning mistakes, and I like the rhythm you used.
