Brian’s Poetry Corner: The Clock
Think of all the time
we’ve wasted in
our lives;
On things that have no
Meaning at all;
And yelling at each other
til one brakes downs and cries;
It’s time we check the
clock upon the wall.
To spend one moment
away from you is more
than I can bear;
Though my actions
say differently;
As I pick up on things
that aren’t really there;
I wish it could
just be me.
I know it’s insecurity
that makes me
act this way;
But I can’t let
anyone know;
So, I put on this act,
this sorrid play;
Then none of my
weaknesses show.
How you find it in
your heart to care so
much for me;
This comes as
quite a shock;
And, I promise I’ll
love you for all the
world to see
before time runs out
on the clock!!
