Counterclockwise Lovers

uncertainty has gotten the best of us both

we sit in silence speaking a million words

Shadows dance across the floor

as our tongues fumble over the thoughts

were too afraid to speak

 

don't irrationalize the rational darling

when heart beats tick in reverse

we stumble over endings

while dreaming only to transverse

 

Follow me down the darkest hallway

we'll come out where the light has crossed

Only time can bring us answers now

as we flee from apparent insanity

and lie shameful in hope of something more

 

but we can't irrationalize the rational darling

when heart beats tick in reverse

we stumble over endings

while dreaming only to transverse

 

This counterclockwise love affair

has worn us far too thin

so turn the hand and speak out

because I'm ready to begin
