Description
She watched and lookedAs the time keeper's beard would sway
To the rhythm of each second passed
No matter how much she stared
The world below never made sense
She couldn't find her place
Among the rhythm of their lives
No one matched hers
But everyone found theirs
Her frantic searching did nothing
The seconds still walked by
The tears did not freeze it
The beatings did not wear it
Her pleads went unheeded
Time needed to speed up, slow down
Backtrack to her desire
The time keeper still walked
The sway of his beard counting off seconds
Her desire still left unheeded
Her rhythm was off kilter
The guitar strings left broken
The singers out of tune
The pendulum rusted…
…To a stop.
That she needed so badly
Had it only been sooner
Maybe then she'd have her guitar
Her choir…
…her rhythm
But the time keeper still walked
The sway of his beard counting off seconds
Her desire still left unheeded.
