Tick tock
went the clock.
Slower and slower
we tried to be bolder.
We thought
if we could stop
Time
and ourselves
for just a moment
we could pick up the pieces
of our shattered lives
and start again.
But life is funny.
Did you know?
It makes you decide
between friends
and lives
that you thought you wanted
until you came to a crossroad
that life has hidden from your view
so now you must choose.
Otherwise the
pieces
that you left
on the ground
when you crashed
at the fork in the road
will not find the right hands
to put them back together.
So
Tick tock
goes the clock.
Faster and faster
we’re getting older.
Because time doesn’t stop
so we best pay attention
to the clock.
