4. time

i wish the clocks would stop
yet as the days go by
they stay the same
as they change

the ticks become an reminder
the tocks become an echo
for when you have nothing to live for
time stops

most say time stops when you're in love
but that's not true
time is your enemy
time has never been nor will be
a companion of those who love

time is only a companion to the depressed
some would say the weak
time cannot affect those who do not care
time only exists for those
that have something to live for

those in love face the consequences of tocks
those that are tired face the rewards of ticks
time does not hurt me anymore
