Keeping Time

Folder: 
My Broken Heart

My mind tells me to
walk away,
but my heart needs you
like breath.

 

I pant for you to come back
and give me more time
to make it work

just as it once did.

 

Everything ran effortlessly;
our hands once interlocked
like the wheels of a clock.

 

Our faces constantly at 2:50,
until I realized
that meant we were
a broken timepiece.

 

Time had lied to us,
and there’s nothing I can do
to fix the past.
