Time

Tick

Time

Tock

Goes the clock

Out of synch with my beating heart.

And the gears

Seem to know their  job.

To know exactly what to do at the precise moment.

Time

Tick

Time

Tock

My heart so clumsy and forgetful

In comparison to the graceful way

The

Pendulum

Swings.

It keeps swaying,

Steadfast.

It does not ask questions

Or

Reminisce.

All the while my heart thumping

To fill in the

Moments

In-between each

Tick.

In-between each

Tock.

Until

The clock,

It

Stops.
