The Stopping Clock

Tick tock tick tock 
A metronome 
Always the same

But the clock does and will stop
Emotion and love somehow holding the pendulum back
The gravity of a moment so important

Time itself now against itself
Time lost to time but given back in later years
Unforgotten a beautiful memory
