Becoming Time
I have my moments,
Where I lay awake
Hour after hour.
Minute after minute.
The tick tock of the ever subtle clicking,
My mind whirls and twirls
A dance amongst the fantastical
Even whimsical
It takes flight
Amongst the adventures
Dreaming
As a smile gently blossoms on my lips
Then;
Slow of breathe
As the chest pauses
Then quickens in pace
A nightmares promises.
I lay curled in yearning
Reaching and slipping
It’s comforts ripped away
My arms offer lonesome hope
Dragging in emptiness
A cold warmth my hands can only hold
A ghost’s touch
Whimpers spilling from my lips
In time with the ever clicking
The ticking and the tocking
I am enslaved
My mind detached
The chimes of the clock strike
Vibrating through my bones
The pulsating of my heart
Drowning me with sound
My agonizing yells
A mere chiming from my mouth
Reapeatedly till twelve
