loss for words

time fragment

my time is precious and delicate,
a glass menagerie sitting on the edge of a shelf.
waiting for the chance to burst into pieces,
much like my heart

i wish i could rewind time to when i first met you,
and tell myself not to fall for your illusion,
as simple and deceiving as it was.
you eradicated my frame of mind. 

i wish i could shatter all the clocks in the world.
i'd rather keep myself in the dark than hear my heart break in a continuous loop.
stuck on replay.

time is my antagonist, asphyxiating me
when i have no voice or a single breath to give,
but it taught me the concept of love,
only to tear it away from my grasp.

i do still love you, through all of your mistakes and treachery.
i might be stupid for thinking this,
but my heart wants the one who broke my heart,

hoping that one day, you'll take the time to mend it.
the clock is ticking, a permanent reminder,
of the tender feelings we shared.

let go of the past,
i'm willing to make time instead of having it
because when i was with you,
you made it stop.
floating in the void of no worry,
no concern.

you and i broke the laws of time.
something so valuable, yet so priceless and free
