Borrowed Time

Months have passed by
as slow as a broken watch,
each second that doesn't tick
takes another drop of blood
from your leaking heart.

Imagine if this blood could be replaced
with the tear drops from the eyes
of those who will weep for you.

Imagine if love could cure
the heart from all diseases
that in life we may be faced with.

But alas I've wished so many nights
and prayed to find a miracle
which never seems to find us.

All that we have is the precious seconds
that I can no longer hear tick by
but instead feel them slip away
from the inside of our hearts.
