time continues
ready or not
continuous clock
non- stop, tick tock
frozen in place
minds race
crave change
sadness remains
swallow me whole
eat me up
twist and turn
and ring me out
slap my face
wake me up
dance in the rain
thunderstruck
murdered hopes
decontrol
numbing pain
distant gain
tears steadily flow
anguish grows
I miss her so
take me home
slowly dying
faithfully trying
life not living
stubbornly willing
jokes on me
puppet on a string
sense of humor
punchline rumor
energy electric
inimitably connected
meant to be pull that string
devastating
dangle that carrot
love and cherish
another lie
all hope dies
hurt still aches
sleep or wake
alongside time
frozen in place
ace up my sleeve
spirit in me
