Dearest clock

You tell me these wonderful things

You say you can help

Help with what?

You don't know how bad it is.

You don't know where I am at in the storm

I could be still stuck

At the very beginning

You say you can take

Take what

The pain?

That will leave me empty

Nothing left but a body

A body walking around

Looking for something

Eventually to fall back on pain

Take the scars?

No clock that stays

They remind me that I am still here

Each one has a story

Each story gives a lesson

Lessons I taught myself

Why would you make me relearn

Take the flame?

Clock that flame

Keeps me here

It's the burning passion

It runs through my veins

It whispers that one more burn

Will help heal the broken bonds

Will join the two separate worlds

The worlds of love and hate

They are only separated by a thin line

Dearest clock

You say you are here

What is here?

It feels like I am alone

Here where?

The darkness is here

Only the darkness and I.

Where is here dearest clock?

Save me before I make time stop

You say you can but you won't

You won't because you're afraid

Afraid of what?

Hurting me more?

Failing?

Silly clock I can't be saved.

Sorry.

Yours ever so truly

The human.
