Time
The lonely eyes of my saddest heart
understands time feels eternal
unlike a ticking clock
past and present never seem to move
Every moment is here and gone
one after another...vanishing without motion
as they form infinite realities in an imagined world
Where songbirds once sang
before my hollowed-out eyes crossed the boundaries of emptiness
seeking refuge from the darkest days
that haunt my heart's yesterdays
When it lays restless under the stars of lost nights
and crawls with its memories
through the empty shell of my soul
holding flickering ash in the orb of my eyes
to light, the dark filled path deep within my heart
so I may see your face
painted on its tear-stained walls from memory
6/30/20 contest Time-8 word challenge
words... time, moment, clock, ticking
past, present, eternal, infinite
