Arcana Posted February 15, 2013 #1 Share Posted February 15, 2013 (edited) Passing Time I'm sitting at my desk The clock is beating time Each second I grow older Sentenced for some crime, My thoughts are like a river Flowing through my mind I feel a guilty shiver Seeing where I'm blind Seeing what I chose to Ignoring what truly is The reality that I knew Was blinded in a kiss My past melts by in hours A lifetime to recall Pouring down in showers As further back I trawl The hours don't bother me It's all those many years Trying to swim the backstroke Through pools of painful tears I feel an ache inside me Skewering me to my soul The emptiness I see Is like a gaping hole Weakness can't be shown My tears are in disguise How frail this mask I own I see it through my eyes I need to see more clearly And not get lost in dreams Mistakes can cost so dearly Regret paid back in screams Everything round me changes The clock's still beating time I hear so many echoes Your distant voice resign I'm embracing independence With one eye on the clock Rising to the challenge While clinging to my rock My love, my mind, my spirit, All dwell inside of me I need to set them free If happy I'm to be I know I must be patient And wait the clock to chime As time cascades around me I'm only passing time © Arcana Edited February 15, 2013 by Arcana 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
