Three Weeks
The countdown begins
clock watch, clock watch
second hand slips
backwards, it seems
taking so long
to meet the hour
and yet these hours
fall into the days
of the three weeks I wait
seemingly eternity
to be with you again
no longer to watch
this damned law-abiding clock
which ticks down by the second
and not by the hour
making me ache
with the longing and pain
in just waiting
just waiting
to be with you again
