Clock ticking

Door lock clicking

All the classics are here

Darkness settles

Ten empty rooms

Neighbors not talking

Hours ahead full of gloom

 

Temporary illusion

Someone phones

Speak only moments 

Then the moments are gone

Learn to play guitar

Try my hand at baking

Walls closing in

Not my will at all

 

Each crashing wave

Eroding like sandstone

The mirror stares back 

I can not see me

A grotesque reflection

The person I thought was me

 

Cast aside the guilt

Throw away the shame

Shut off the lamp light

I'm back and forth again

Great seal of approval

I stamp my own deed

It has come back to me
