As the darkness fades, so do I.
Time tick-tocks,
On, sweeping away my bitter remains.

As the light teases my tearful eyes, I cry.
Time has stopped tick-tocking.
Off, nothing works anymore,
The now powerless mechanisms come to
An abrupt stop.

Likewise does my body, the whirring,
Pauses momentarily -
Catching their breath, and sighing into Action once more,
Perhaps for the final time.
