Little Black Clock

There's this little black clock
At the end of my bed
It tells me the time
But doesn't calm my head
If anything it makes me a wreck
Too late for this
Too early for that
Until one day the clock
Stopped motion
Not a second on earth
Controlled my decisions
Not a minute in the world
Stopped me from arriving
Not a hour in the universe
Stopped me from saying hello
But all too suddenly
I got a new time teller
And if I had to blame
Something for my insanity
I would blame the little black clock
At the end of my bed
