Spring has SprungA 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 © 2016 AJ Bell |
