Here I am in my bed
The poison light of my phone
Glaring at my brown eyes
As I write this poem
In a room where no moonlight is shed,
Wondering for my future home
Where I know time will tell no lies.
Here I wait for time's token.

I have a heart in my hands
It ticks away like the hands of a clock.
It scares me like falling sands,
I am what their silent falls mock.

Indecisive is my mind as is my heart
In this spring of life -
Where I bake a random tart
And poke it with a knife.

I see you.

Everyday you look different
Sometimes even distant.

I worry you'll fly away
Before I can grasp this fully
For Time won't slow.
And life will fly and never sway
It doesn't hover; what a bully.

This once, I hope it doesn't snow.
