My Wrist Watch

Entangled in the greatest depths,
Keeping count, forcing perfection,
A path through a maze, equally divided,
Not lagging back, not breaking records,
Tick tock, tick tock, stay in time not behind.

Snuggly secured, hold on tight,
Tucked through locked in place,
Raven black, heavenly smooth,
Milky white writing fading to dust,
Metal buckle rusting absent, still robust just as durable
Tick, tock, tick, tock, hold on tight, keep your fight.

Time will halt so keep secure,
Without tempo where do we stand?
Falling behind, rushing ahead,
Cracked screen bringing conclusion,
Cogs stop, contents escape,
Tick... Tock... Tick... Toc... k.
