Song For The Deceased Poem by Christian Rivera

I watch
The clock
Tick-tock
Tick-tock
On and on
And on

I'm at
A loss
My time
Has gone
On and on
And on

I stand before myself so aged
So lost in missing yesterday
Time comes and goes and never stays
A broken record never plays
Again

For me this is the end
To everyone my time is spent
To every one of my last friends
The Fates have cut my thread
So short

And still I...
I watch
The clock
Tick-tock
Tick-tock
On and on
And on...

In my eyes there's nothing more
No glitter as they close their doors
The ember fades to an ashen core
My angel wings shall soar
So high

But my love for life will never die
I'll miss the feel of summer nights
And sitting by a dim-lit fire
Singing as the angels fly
Around

And still I...
I'm at
A loss
My time
Has gone
On and on
And on

And on...
