Tick Tock

Time

has come

and gone

and left

me blind



to all

the things

I've left

behind



the dreams

I thought

could once

be real



the things

that once

we used

to feel



the hands

of time

upon

the wall



across

my face

their sha-

dows crawl



as day

gives way

into

night's damp



still life

cast from

a dim

street lamp



like sha-

dows deep

inside

of me



no move-

ment or

seren-

ity



but thoughts

of you

move through

my mind



my great-

est en-

emy

is

time

A good poem. The form lends itself well to your thoughts.
