Hour

Curious hour, why are you holding me to such ghastly thoughts?
Why must I be the subject of all your stinging seconds? 
I have done no wrong today; I am blameless
And yet I am left here, consumed with your greedy hands 
Tracing them along my chest, eyes steadfast as coursing ships

One hour can be a long time when it is like this one! Did you ever see the movie called the Hours? Your poem is deep like that movie.
