Literature
Time never stops
The woman in the mirror smiles
with her tired empty eyes.
Deep sadness now behind that smile
she wears as her disguise.
Without you, her time ticks slowly by,
her minutes turn to years.
Life goes on relentlessly
like the drip, drip, drip of her tears.
Another breaking dawn without you,
it breaks her lonely heart.
Another day alone without you,
another day apart.
How could she just live on without you,
how could she just go on?
Each passing day she longs to see you,
each waking minute gone.
Her life, it will go on without you,
if she wants it to or not
cos just like her endless love for you,
the time will never stop.
