The watch

by InvisibleHourglass   May 31, 2008


Merry Christmas
you murmured
as you handed me a box
i wrapped my arms around you
as you stood shocked
we went inside
hung out for a while
went to dinner
had as much fun as geeks like us could
That night you left
i realize now you didn't even wave goodbye
i walked inside and remembered the box
it was beautifully wrapped
i remember the sweet note that fell out when i pulled the watch out
it was beautiful, and nothing less
but now it sits in my dresser drawer
locked away from the world
because you took the world from me
i guess not really,
but you did break my heart.
Sometimes i check on it
i'm curious to see if it's still ticking
or if it's the right time
because before you left it started ticking slower
but i guess i didn't view that as a sign
now i'm just watching time

    I hope you don't mind me commenting on the fact that the whole story is true. It's hard to write about it in a way that makes sense and for other people to understand. Your writing is absolutely amazing in this poem.

    I really loved this poem...It says so much. It's just well written and I dunno I could go on forever and ever but I know how you felt in this and I love it. I've never known of love to be portrayed as a watch. But it does make sense 5/5
