Double Clocked

Blaring silence interfered by the ticking clocks Dawn arises from drained sun's wear Time and time again, the moon was shaken The motion of the hour hand she could not bear To the world, she was an imprudent one The crystal of the face she used to conceal To the darkness, she was a ferocious kind Never has she turned aside to reveal The minute hand paused to a halt As she breathlessly met him at the stand Falling into a pit where Hades stroke her heart With beats that over-took the second hand The jumbled numbers across her face Spoke to him in an unwise way The urge to trust became the desire to lie Killing her was her own betray Chronicles of misery drenched her soul The grief-stricken ghost unfold her kind The boy distressed by his sight Never returned, as he erased her from his mind Pendulum did die down But her affection had shattered lost Such agony came to a close Unveiling to demise, was she pleased to cross
