Time's Up

Is it time, must we go?
Yes, the voice replies, I'm afraid so.

Are you sure, can't we make it stop?
No, the voice replies, time has abandoned us.

But why, what for, is all lost?
Time is relevant, but comes at a cost.

That's the point, that right there!
What point, ask the voice, please do share.

Life is dull and mute but grand and full,
I gave you one chance, now sow the result.

Surely you can give us but one more try?
I could, I won't. You would just cry.

Quite, now please, nothing makes sense.
The voice is me, past and pretense.
