I stole time

I am the one who stole time,
Bundled it up,
And ran away.
I slung it over my shoulders and said goodbye.

Time slips through your fingers.
It stuck to mine.
It held fast,
Tearing apart my heart.

Time washed over you,
And held me down.
I caught time
When it was not expecting me.
I smothered it in a quilt,
And threw it far away.

But you found time,
Hugged it and kept it safe.
Now time is haunting me.
It won't leave me alone.
The problem now is that
Time decided to slip through my fingers,
and stick to yours.
But you won't catch it and you never will.
