Watching Time Poem by Rene Bennett

Watch the clock
Time is slow
Once again
Here we go.
Where's the pain
Deep inside
Self esteem
Foolish pride?
Tears won't come
Though I try
Eyes that burn
Cannot cry.
Pounding heart
Skipped a beat
Losing Faith
Life's complete.
Stayed up late
Heard your cries
Shared a hug
Said goodbyes.
Walked a mile
Lost in thought
Eternal memories
None forgot.
Missing you
Again today
Wishing you
Could have stayed.
Looking back
I am glad
And thankful for
The time we had.
