Can’t fight the clock

 


There isn't a day when

your memory doesn't linger.

Sometimes it reminds me

of sunny weather,

gives me a reason to be better,

other times it fills my heart

with thick, oozing, melancholy tar.

I remember the car pulling up,

and the shock.

of that moment

when my life collapsed

as I realised that

we can’t fight the clock.

That day death came to visit,

I wasn’t ready for it,

I don’t think you ever can be,

but he wasn’t there for my life.

He was there bringing mourning gifts

that I’d always keep with me.

 

I never got to say everything

I wished to. I thought time

was only for others,

that for us it would

always just tick.

But then that tock did come

I realised that we can’t fight the clock.

And it all clicked.

I had got it all so very wrong.

I never got to share with you

where my dreams would lead,

I only got to say

a whispered goodbye

as I looked on through

glassy teary eyes reflecting

memories back at me.

 

There isn’t a day, not one,

where your memory doesn't play on.

It’s like walking through life

with a radio blaring along,

and all the songs

are moments from a distant day,

reminders of your face,

and there are no times

when I don’t see your smile

and that glint in your eyes

and think I will until

my very last mile

through all of these

glassy tears

that I cry.
