Silence On A Stopwatch (entry for contest)
By SummonerOfShadows666
I
Looking back at frozen hours
Time laughing within hindsight
Fool of everything undone
Standing still when the deadline drops
Nothing moves
A life wasted when it could've been better
Everything to lose
We lie to each other
And stand still
But nothing happens
Nothing
But endless perks of guilt
Big dreamers
With rotten ambitions
We tend to forget
Hanging out with the wrong people
Only makes it worse
Turning back time
To create another mistake
And even heavier sin
As we stand still
The errs of humanity
Shadows we cannot erase
Is only
Silence on a stopwatch

Great piece! Especially love the lines "We lie to each other And stand still But nothing happens" - that brings it all into focus and sets up the boom. Thanks for participating! I got so many great entries, I am finding it very hard to decide... Ciao, T/S
