The watchtower chimes again in the town square. <br />Counting down the seconds left in my life. <br />Reminding me of regrets and unfulfilled dreams. <br />My soul shudders in sheer terror. <br />My body shakes and shivers. <br />Time wasted, opportunitites lost. <br />My nightmare of death becomes a reality. <br />I can not stop the ticking. <br />Time will not slow down. <br />Will not let me catch up to it. <br />Will not wait for me. <br />I deluded myself. <br />Had all the time in the world. <br />Chased after emptiness.<br /><br />Jeff Fleischer<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-watchtower/
