Time without you is
Waiting for dawn to break.
Time without you is
A nightmare I have to wake from.
Time without you is
A dam’s stuck brake,
Unable to release
The river overflowing the lake.
Time without you is
Staring at the rigid
Fingers of that clock
Desperately trying to twitch,
Like my eyes never leaving
That time-bomb
That goes kabom.
Anticipating the count-down to the day
I can see you again.
How I wish I could pry
Open the secrets of time,
Lie on the open field and
Feel
Every
Single
Contained second
Pour down onto the earth like rain.
For time without you is never-ending pain.
