Callous Lover
By Lana Li


Time is just like a callous lover.

You love him so much,

But he doesn’t care about you at all.


Time is just like a callous lover.

You always want to chase him up,

But he never stops and waits for you.


Time is just like a callous lover.

You blink your eyes,

Then he leaves with your broken heart.


Time is just like a callous lover.

But what can we do without time?
