I'm the work
Of a clock
That's missing
Teeth
On tiny
Gears
To ensure
It's accuracy
Time gets lost
On me
And
In me
Always
I show up
Early
And leave
Even earlier
Under-staying
My welcome
By vanishing
In shadows
Of "I thought
I saw him here"
Off to a comfortable
Place
Of unnamed arms
To hold me tight
Like lovers do
All night
I'm a whisper
Of loud goodbyes
And quiet hellos
At will & random
On my own terms
I play by my rules
Because I know them
And don't yours
Unsure makes me
Squeamish
To point of
The only times
I wish
And I'll wish
To be anywhere
Where the
Discomfort
Of existing
Eats
Holes
Through
My
Feelings
Leaving
Me
In
Despair
