The clock keeps ticking, <br />The sound echoes in my ears. <br />The days keep coming, <br />But they can't drown out the years. <br />Wakeless days and Sleepless nights <br />Consume my time. <br />Thoughts of you <br />Eat away at my mind. <br />Warped is the world, <br />Today I finally see. <br />I finally see the truth, <br />I see what you meant for me. <br />I trap myself <br />Within my own vision of hell. <br />I run and I run, <br />But cannot escape the sound of the bell. <br />It could have been different, <br />Instead you told your lies. <br />I swallowed them, <br />Because you played with my mind. <br />Isolated is the barren cold before us now. <br />I was there through thick and thin, I realize now. <br />Oh, how you played with my mind. <br />I realize now, it was all just wasted time.<br /><br />Timothy Lee Hollandsworth Jr.<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/wasted-time-3/
