Description
Time Ticks Away
Time.
It ticks away
the passing
of our lives.
Tells of
memories past,
and of future
yet to hold.
Time.
It ticks away
the moments
in our lives.
That
which we share,
and that
which we don't.
Time.
It ticks away
our love
when we are together.
That
which should last forever,
only to pass
with the blinking
of an eye.
Of a tear.
Time.
It ticks away
our love
when we are apart.
It is
the slowest
movement of all.
Slower
than the breath
of one
who has past on.
Time.
It ticks away
like the breaking
of a heart.
For
when I am away
from you,
my heart is filled,
with the pain
of a thousand
silver daggers.
A thousand daggers...
if not more.
Thrown into my heart,
one...
second...
at...
a...
time.

Pulled this out of the archives. Kind of like life in the fast lane. Tried for a "dramatic" ending. Nothing like loneliness to bring out the sappiness. -j.p.
