You want my time

You want my time
You want to show how you can hold me
You want the world to know
that you own me.

Time is a cage;
beyond there’s a void.
The only way out’s
to expand your mind.
So drink this wine
and you will find
The world grows and grows
when you leave the cage behind.

But you want my time
to show the world you can hold me—
hold my heart and mind
like a queen wears her ring.

You want my time
but your heart’s not mine.
So now’s the time
to go away full of every moment left
of my dwindling bottle of wine
my shrinking portal in time.
