Chronophobia

 

The astro turf beneath our backs

We look to the astrological signs

But see nothing but twinkling lights

Because we can't read or speak to stars

There's no sense in knowing the future

Because I only want to live in the past

But I think I may be able to bear it

If we can stay in the same present

You curl up next to me and sigh

and the bricks come out of my stomach

I smile softly and kiss your lips

and they're replaced with butterflies

The clock keeps ticking through our embrace

As I'm reminded by your wristwatch

But I swear to the sky I'll be with you

Until one of us runs out of time
