I wear this clock around my neck,
As a lover wears a ring.
This heavy weight upon my chest;
As heavy as the time within.

But The clock I wear's not ticking,
And the heart I bear's not beating.
I wait for them to begin again-
Clock broken, heart stopped.

The clock stopped when you left me,
The time ran out when you did.
But my heart went on for a little while,
My heart would not believe

That in the end you cared not
For the time or the heart I gave you.
So this clock serves as a reminder to
Not love as I loved you
I know the timing's a little off on the least verse but yaày first poem:)
This one I thought of when I was changing the chain on a pocket watch my friend gave to me for Christmas and when I put it on, the weight of the watch kinda reminded me of the feeling you get in your heart when you know you're hoping for something foolish but you still wait.
