Clockwatcher
Awakened from your sleep
Words buzzing through your head
Shadowy images, hazy pictures
Flashing by the windows of your past
Stolen moments, innocence lost
Never to be returned
Can’t sleep, don’t want to think
Time continues to pass
Minutes, hours, days and years
ALL remain the same
Hurt, pain, anguish, guilt and shame
Hasn’t gone away
Seasons change, you get older
Or do you?
