My eyes are timepeices,
the gears turn with in my head.
Slithering and running in the creases,
heavy metal lids made of lead.

Lashes are the hands,
they point every direction at once.
On time their are no bands,
it grows,it runs on, it will bounce(one second to another).

Freckles are the numbers,
scattered here and there.
Passing of time incumbers,
my dreams,but i'm not scared.

To have the face of a clock,
is to mourn the time.
With no tears you mock,
mock yourself in your so-called "prime".

Yes,time runs by,
with the tears that run down my face.
I watch the hands move,i cry,
the tick tocking keeps pace.
But i falter and my heart stops.
