when piecing together this puzzle,
that's lost inside my head,
I contemplate the hours spent,
the precious minutes wasted,
to the loving heart I lent.
I used to give my time to you,
my beating heart the pace ,
but clocks require batteries,
and so,
The ticking you did tease.
My favors went unnoticed,
the sweet smiles passed unseen,
my heart, you did not fill,
and though I dare not believe it,
the world is turning still.
