The Tides of Time

By Joseph Anuga

The tides of time
Has washed past me
And your absence is all I have

The tides of time
Has washed past me
And your presence is still at large

The tides of time has done its job
And all things around
Have changed a lot

The tides of time
Has lost its battle
To tear from my heart
Your undying frame

The tides of time
Shall soon be settled
And my mental torture
Caused by your absence
Shall come to an end

For the tides of time
Shall bring you to me
Clench us together
And we shall never part again
