Time Ticker

Walking along the way Enjoying the company every day Careful to never take for granted That time is slightly slanted ...to tick Click, click, was that a hicc UP Wait, no...what!?! It can NOT be true I never noticed That time had voted To bring you new opportunity without me No one asked me No one cared to see If I was done being If I was done with needing your presence the intoxicating joy of your perfect essence just.....gone... It's over......you grew Time tricked and ticked, then clicked you Out of my nurturing ground Without so much as a sound Of warning How can I rejoice in your growth When you have built your own boat With the tools I gave you from my shed I knew you would leave one day But never could I have imagined in the way You left the home where I had provided a nice bed to be at peace It's that stupid time ticker That takes the clicker And runs you past the place Where intimacy shares And LOVE fully cares In the moment of empty space Written by Trudy Schrader on 06-27-2018
