You moved like a slow moving vessel steamer
Time you thought you had
You totally forgot
You seemed to be stuck on being still
But time was on full acceleration
Tick Tuck was your time
You thought you could keep up
You figured the long was your extended time
But the short hand said you were out of time
The Midnight Hour was your finale
You no longer had any seconds nor minutes left
Every component of time captured your every pause and movement
You were now trapped in a clock
You will never get out
Time controls all you about
You didn’t understand what precise time meant
It was a lesson you never knew and didn’t try to find out
Time surrounds you within the walls
You are now sustained in your stall
In essence, your fault being your fall
Time tried to warn you, but you totally ignored
Time has it’s own time
You are now a timepiece
You will never be released
You are time vanished forever
