12 o'clock
All time high
Loving you
Hugging you
Holding you

1 o'clock
Distance
It's not big, but noticeable
Forgetting
You don't notice
She does but you don't
It's not a big deal right?
Right?

2 o'clock
It's wasn't a big deal
It'll be fine
No spiraling happening in my mind

3 o'clock
Do you not love me
What if I don't love you
I told myself to just relax
You can't jump of a cliff
That doesn't exist

4 o'clock
Ok we're good
All good
Everything is good

5 o'clock
Slipping
Staggering
Falling

6 o'clock
Hide it
Drown it
Be better
Why can't I just be better

7 o'clock
Splitting
The sensation of pulling away
Shutting down
Going away

8 o'clock
Going down the rabbit hole
Fighting
To last
To stay
To love

10 o'clock
Explosion
Pushing you away
Lying to your face
Lying to everyone
Shoving everything down

11 o'clock
Disappearance
The loneliness creeps inside my bones
Makes a home in my soul
Scatters my mind

12 o'clock
Numb
Alone
We went from strangers
To friends
Connecting instantly
Turning into my favorite person
My rock
Then
How I wish I could say slowly
But
Love
Blossomed
Then in an instant stranger once more
I guess stranger isn't the right term
Because can we be that anymore
Knowing all that we know
Starting over
Without you
My firm foundation
My solid ground
But you are no longer mine anymore
