Time

Alan R

One moment I feel it was ages ago
That the last time I heard from you
Then I see that you wrote, just yesterday
I lived through a decade in a day for you 

Why does the pain make each moment
Pass so slow, that I die and come back
This cycle of yearning, longing, still
Like rusting corners of the iron racks

One moment it's a lifetime and next is flames
How does it all reveal as a shock
My mind is numb but I can feel it stuck
Inaccurately bent on the arms of the clock

You probably don't feel anything at all
Figments, maybe here and there 
Your watch is fine and so must be your mind
I'm paralyzed by time, peeling my layers


-Al
