Church bells are ringing
Time is thinking
"Will I ever stop?"
"I keep on running
I keep on moving on
But nobody else does"
"I eventually get rid of you
A soul forever gone
Then I move on"
We should be like Time
We should learn from it
Instead of watching it pass by
It hurts
It heals
But never looks back
You should thank Time
Time heals wounds
And prepares for the next fight
It gives you a chance
To look forward to something new
To uncover hidden truths
Love takes Time
So does trust
All birthed through it's passing
Yes you're left with a scare
But think of it with pride
A mark you survived
I wonder what it feels like
To be the destroyer of generations
Is it as sad and lonely as I think?
For no matter how fast you run
No matter how good you hide
No one escapes Time
Your secrets won't keep
The truths uncovered
Time stays unchanged
People meet
People leave
While others are left behind
"I don't bat an eye
I don't cry
I am everlasting Time"

What do you guys think of it? I was writing the poem: Old Age, The Undefeated Foe, and one of the verses mentioning time made me think. I guess I like to personify all these things to understand them better.
Also, what do you new readers think about my renaming the book? Which name should I pick?
a) Poetic-ness
b) Poetic Mess
c) (comment a suggestion because I have no idea...)
So, what memory could time never erase from your brain?
*Totally forgot to publish the chapter this morning....
