Time

There's no time
No before or after
Does not exist

He says before
She says after
There's no such time
It just is

Time's manmade
What happens when
A day passes
Slower or faster
What then

So simple
So deep
I'm afraid to look in the mirror

I don't know if he or she understands
What's in my head
The truth
Time
There's no time
Time does not exist
