Spring has Sprung

Spring has Sprung

A Poem by AJ Bell

Time is running out
The clock is ticking fast 
Tick tick tick
A time bomb waiting to implode 
I’m just buying time 
Until the hour glass has dropped its last grain of sand 
No more turning it right side up and starting all over again 
I don’t know how to fake it anymore 
Pretend when the seasons change that she’s not on your mind 
It’s spring again 
The mania has returned 
And I won’t stay this time 
I won’t wait for the fall to come 
For you to realize once again that you’ve made a mistake 
Just when I think it’s over, you pull the box out again 
I’ve tried to bolt it shut
I kept the key around my neck 
You snuck in last night and stole it
When I woke up it was all over the floor 
A picture of her flutters down 
You pick it up and speak to her
You lie and say nothing was said 
It’s just a secret between you and yourself 
And you think if you only speak to her in your mind that it will stay that way 
I’ve tried to Cauterize the wounds but you open them again and again 
Leaving bigger scars than the time before 
You look at me and say it’s done 
Your secrets still on your breath 
No matter what I do she’ll always be there
Right behind me 
Breathing down my neck
