the clock ticks on
without you
in utter blackness
the night dies
without you
just as usual
wake me when
it's time to die
i always hate to watch
the time fly by
and loneliness drifts
into its usual haunt
squishing in
on all sides
'silence is the sound'
a cliche' underused
the possibilities are impossible
hugging air and
wishing reality was imaginitive
wake me when
it's time to die
i always hate to watch
the time fly by
and life just seems
to be a red-hot coal
cradled in my hands
and I wonder
how long I can hold on
close your eyes
from the beauty around you
pull away from your mind
do you have a soul?
show me
because i believe you do
'cause when i'm with you
i feel whole from the usual brokenness
free from the usual despair
maybe just maybe
i love you
wake me when
it's time to die
i always hate to watch
the time fly by
and i'm spiraling down
down again
and you're not here
to save me
so i scream in the silence
and fall

Well, I had the repeating sentence down a looong time ago.... "wake me when it's time to die, I always hate to watch the time fly by." It just took going to camp and being bored during an hour of free time to actually have the poem decide to form itself in my head.
It's all in lower caps for a REASON. It seems to flow better, and expresses something deeper, at least to me. Allright, try to enjoy, please.  |

Although the line(s) were more like in my head for a couple months....sometimes poetry is just plain stubborn like that.

For instance, this one took, say, ten minutes. "Shattered Promises" took about three, 'cause I was in a bit of a rush to control myself.
But then I always go back and revise them...which always takes a lot more time, 'cause I'll procrastinate on them.
