The clock is ticking at exactly midnight Hours had gone by within line's sight Minutes passed, mindlessly moving still Seconds ran, against the absolute chill Straight back home, I ran back then Trying to erase those memories not easily forgotten Wiping back tears that come again and again Hoping every time I wouldn't be so mistaken I tried, I swear I really did But I feel as though I couldn't succeed I failed to hide what I feel And I admit that I especially lacked that skill
The clock is ticking slowly, dim and bright Hours had gone by without the slightest respite Minutes passed, mindlessly taking pace Seconds ran as if trying a race Straight back home, I fell back then Hoping to wipe these memories that left me broken We could have happened if you hadn't lied So now I'm stuck here, waiting for death to reside This world is in deep pain Sins are nothing but an annoying stain But we still should have been If only we weren't so keen
The clock is ticking to admit to you're right Hours had gone by, but no one looks blithe Minutes passed, mindlessly walking ahead Seconds ran, forgetting that I said instead Straight back home, came despair Making sweet peace pass and bitterness stare Time and time, again and again It's as if it's all going back to that garden Where I stood, my face pale and ashen Where I last saw you, I prayed I was mistaken I dared to stay close, to hold you more But you couldn't bear it, so you closed your door
Where was Time whom I so much needed? Help me turn back the tide, pain can be averted I call upon the impossible where dark nights rise I thought I could do anything but you proved otherwise I can't do anything to do it over Still, I pushed forward, to do anything in my power But Time had other plans, other than one He did not let me be explicitly done The clock is ticking at exactly midnight Hours had gone by, but there's still no light Minutes passed, mindlessly hoping you'd turn around Seconds ran, until I die, waiting to be found

This is one of my favorite poems out there and I don't know why. I thought it's exactly genius to not use the title of the poem in one of the lines inside. It feels a bit disconnected to the title but it talks about time, right?
What do you think about this poem? I'd love to know. Comment below. :)
