The Clock Is Ticking

I awake and i see the sunrise just as you do. But at times i feel these clouds cover my mind. My desire fades and i long to sleep. Why won't you come and lay beside me? I feel like it's time to save someone. To save myself. Come. Place your hand in my hand. Wear your heart on your sleeve. I guarantee that i will guard it with my life. Can't you see that i'm here to serve my purpose? Born an bred an optimist. I became a chosen pessimist. I wandered down a broken path. Unbreak my heart. I'll show you something that will last. Forever. Take a breath. This is all that i have left. Broken promises have left me scarred. Tragedy has locked me behind these iron bars. Come set me free. Give me something to believe in and i'll show you a bleeding heart. Full of passion. My patience has worn thin. I've been abandoned. Lead astray. Now take my hand. Let's walk this way. You are the sun and you are the stars that wipe away the clouds. You are the drug that keeps me calm and sane. A light in this darkened world. The Hell i have created for myself. The trials and tribulations that have left me scathed. All the times i have been betrayed. Trust lost. I know you are not the same. Trust in me as i have trusted in you. I'll take your hand and no longer tremble in fear. I'm not asking for much. Just for a few moments to pick up the pieces. The clock is ticking. Distance has separated itself from me. As you draw near i have nothing to fear but fear itself. What is there to believe? Have faith. Find hope. Believe in something. Someone. Do something with the cards you have been dealt. Make a move. The only thing you have to lose is time. A restless soul. Sleepless nights have taken their toll. Break the cycle. This is our time to pursue the hopes and dreams you have held close. The hour glass is spilling. Look me in the eyes. This is our time to rise. You are a friendly face in the crowd. Hear my heart beat loud. You have repaired the damage. Let's take advantage of the time placed in front of us.
