Killing Time

Suspense kills
I would kill again 
grasping at fate, where it lies
on my conscience.

What's left of this you have a taste for now,
pulling together,
moving on to what you left behind,

Stripping time

I time travel until I belong in my skin,
no longer in limbo watching the clock,
your lies wasting away the hours...

a thankless task to cling to time,
always waiting for what I cannot decline.
