The Dose of Time (image by crilleb50)

With your thoughts in my mind
Waiting for you I sit here all day
I've been here since forever
I have the will but not the way

Its been really long since you left
How am I supposed to get over it
Time just paused that very second
On the day they lowered you into the pit

The land is no longer barren
Tiny flowers have began to sprout
Am I the only one frozen in time
I've begun to have my own doubt

My tongue hasn't said a word
The chirp of the bird is all I hear
The chimes of time do give me company
Ticking away without any fear

My walking stick has not walked a step
A part of me has been brutally torn
My clothes are covered in dust
Your memories are what I adorn

When will the melancholy end
How does this chapter close
Even if time does actually heal
What is the prescribed dose
