360

i gaze at the clock and wait
wait as it ticks and moves slowly
completing its rotation in a full 360
wait as time flies wasted as nothing goes down
because now you are gone
and nowhere to be found.

a deep cut heals as time ticks by
and the bird slowly lifts his head up
and with eager wings and what looks to be a smile
he flies high.
as if no longer bothered
by a stinging goodbye..

his stubborn mind will be conditioned
but his fragile heart will lie
he can forget temporarily
when he tries to fly..
without you he might die, but he will do his best and try.
to push back tears,
learn to survive...
and forever cease to cry.

i sit here now, and patiently wait
wait as the world spins daily
spins and completes a revolution
slowly... in a full 360.
wait as days and nights go by, with nothing significant
nothing worth telling, or noting, or knowing

only your presence has significance.
your love worth everything.
your face worth telling.
your voice worth noting.
your kiss worth knowing.

what power it would be
to make time tick back
to make the world spin
the other way... in a full 360.

so that the bird can experience everything
about you that he has now lost.
because to him you are truly, lovely.
because you were his better half.
you used to complete him
what he lacked, you made up for.
together you formed... a 360.

to turn back time would be miraculous
impossible.
only hope keeps him alive.
hope that in the future.
there will come a 360.
in which you will realize that the bird exists.
and his wings will not falter.
he will push for 270.. all he needs is your 90..
to complete and restore.. his longed 360.
