Time

the heavy minutes of the day do not pass
two hands of the clock move as if pained
hours in between roil in a seething mass
hours faded away moments just waned
if i can't sleep with you beside me
i'd rather not sleep at all

sleepless eyes open to herald the dawn
rolling left rolling right attempt in vain
reliving everything that's said and gone
yet another attempt to hide the pain
if i can't wake with you beside me,
i'd rather not wake at all

the little things do not mean the same
without you there's nothing left to see
hope it's not gone and no one to blame
fervent desire another chance maybe
if i can't be me with you beside me,
i'd rather not be me at all
