As the Eleventh Hour Begins

As the Eleventh Hour Begins

A Poem by Sarah McKeever Hitt

In the late of our tale
the bad and the beautiful play out in time
as I sit alone and wish I could smoke a cigarette and forget all about you.

Sordid are we, in secret
but you, the worst of anything,
silent in the midst of it all.

But hey, what can I say?  
That is as it should be
in our silly little empire of love.

Some say that when you know that one true love
that it shines in your mistakes  and your dreams or nightmares

Well maybe they don't say that, but I do. 
So ask yourself, where are you with me?

I can't stop to tell you that I am sorry for trying to gain ground
when all I have is the past I have lived before you
So when I waste away to dust and come back strong and different 
don't pretend you don't see me because we both know you notice

So here I am, wondering what sort of move do I make next 
as the eleventh hour begins.
