TIME WARP

poem by: Reeves
Written on Aug 18, 2018

I looked at my watch and it was  quarter to three,
you were on your back where you wanted to be,
I had to wake you from your dreams, game changer,
there was Tonto but you settled for the Lone Ranger.

I looked at my watch and it was quarter to four,
you were dressed and heading towards the door,
I had to weather a storm, one which you might empower,
there was a slam and I was left in my ivory tower.

I looked at my watch and it was quarter to five,
you came back and like Daley, my spirits took a dive,
I had to admit that I didn't love you as often as I should,
there was a 'buck - up' needed, otherwise someone else would.

Time stood still, your hands went neither forward nor back,
you wound me up - reminded me of all the things I lack.
