I need time to stop
I need the hands on the clock to freeze in their spot
I need to take in the roses
And clouds and lakes
I need life to stop going
At such a rapid pace
I need time stop
I need time to hold me in it's cold and unforgiving arms
I need to pause for a second
Breath in place
Stop and keep reminding that I'm still in this place
I need time to stop
I'm not ready for this chapter
But time says ready or not
It doesn't care
What I want
Time doesn't care
If I'm ready to start
I need time to stop
The stress is getting to me
But that's just the start
The clock will keep spinning
Ticking on the dot
Life won't keep waiting
It'll just start
Time won't ever
Stop
