why is it on earth
time perishes
we never run out
it will always be there
even when i'm not
your crimson smile breaks
my clock
the smallest words you give
"promise"
linger my thoughts for hours
at a time
i miss when we foolishly
ran in bliss and laughter
on the clouds that eloped our minds
on those hot forest days
back then, my envy was dust
you said you were mine
and i nodded solemnly
and used my thoughts of yesterday
to power me through
little did i know
our clock ran out moons ago
