• Time, the endless and aging.

  ~~~Time Brings Age~~~
  "And so the years pass." ---S.K. "Lisey's Story"

  Sitting in this room all alone, staring at the clock on the mantle-
  I watch it's hands move, slowly ticking away the seconds;
  The rhythmn of its ticking in sync with the beating of my heart.

  One beat, two-
  three,
  then four.
  Tick, tick, tick;
  silent seconds
  slipping by. . .

  Close my eyes and this ticking continues inside my head,
  Beating, pulsing, pounding out this song inside my head-
  Steady like the metronome, so why don't I feel steady?
  The calm before the storm, chaos upon the sea.

  Time brings age,
  Then turns the page;
  Dreams earn fray,
  Day by day by day.

  Nothing stays the same,
  Yet history repeats in
  circles,
  to and fro then back again-
  an endless
  circle
  of Hell,
  another
  downward
  spiral. . .

  Sitting in this cold and lonely room, staring at the clock upon the mantle-
  I count the beats of my heart, the breaths I take, the seconds that pass;
  Each one more precious than the last, each slipping, slipping, slipping
  further from my grasp.
