I watch the time come and go
each tock on the clock
my heart sinks deep
like a rock in the river
I poke at my dinner
like a dead rat on the street
and then I retreat to my room
feeling sappy and sorry
and for this I don’t know
I’m supposed to be peachy
but my heart is greedy
a feeling I wish I could outgrow
my mind is somewhere else
it’s by the creek running around
just feet on the grass, on the dirt, in a tree
but I’m here
not in the somewhere I want to be.

Wait for me.

I will make it worth your while.

I dream of you

Your face lit with the afternoon sun

Coming into my arms

Smelling of freshness and wonder

To hold your hair in my hands
To taste your lips once again

Wait for me.

My darling.

Please.
Wait.

Under the cover of the darkest of nights,
I feel safest within your embrace,
You tell me you love me despite all the fights,
But secretly you've packed your case.

Doesn't your heart even want to try?
I know I've not always been kind,
but now I'm alone and all I do is cry,
Why have you left me behind?

Months have now passed and I've had time to think,
I don't know why I was so bitter,
Now that my heart has been pushed to the brink,
I'm anything but a quitter.

The time wasn't right in the heat of the pain,
Though now I feel I must express,
I'd do anything to feel your love again,
Wrapped in your gentle caress.

Change is a thing we all must go through,
We all must learn from our mistakes,
Can we start from somewhere new?
Before my poor heart breaks.

I saw lies
Behind your smile
And truth
Behind your eyes
The ones that sparkled
Now lost their light
And a wry heart
Withered under the weight.

Synchronised
Clocks ticking
Slowly move away
No longer in sync
Dead.
