Tick-tock, tick-tock

The clock is my enemy

Our enemy

The cruel master of time

That precious time

That we spend together

Sharing our love

Letting it grow

So bright, it burns

With the light of a thousand suns

Why must your hands move so fast?

Does time need to move

So very quickly?

I think not

What cruel master you are, Clock!

You wield your power

With no concerns for others

I must leave my beloved soon

It is a complicated world

That we each live in

So many responsibilities

Call upon us

Each and every day

Could you not slow down

For the noblest of causes --
