clock ticking forward
without permission
ticking and ticking
seconds creating confusion
but understanding in minutes
have we come to the conclusion.
now that he knows..
what's in the dark
is now in the light
saw sick profusion
in the concrete seeping
weeds, creeping to divide
concrete blocks and mortar bricks
he made my heart skip a beat
when I saw him fading a way
into the dark
now that he knows..
felt the dark creep
from him to me
alone
alone
as he walked away...
my face down in dismay
then he turned his head and said.
I love you.
