---

I heard your voice
in every ticktock.
It says my name;
it feels it ain't a clock.

I wanna have you
like a watch in my wrist,
feeling my pulse--
the beat no one kissed.

The time's swords
are strong enough to destroy us,
and I thought
that the unreal truth is or was.

For all I need, 24 hours aren't enough.
I've been wishing...

I've been wishing all day long.

But without you--my illustrious shield
from time's swords,

my swift days are shortly... long.
