Intertwined Mishaps

If I could forget the time life would be easy
Just shatter the seconds into shards
The hours just melt like a frozen winter
And minutes my mind just disregards
Maybe I could breathe a little bit calmer
Maybe my heart could beat a steady tune
I try to forget all about the clocks that surround me
But I can’t help hoping you’d come back soon

Because every second it hurts to breathe
Every minute I try not to cry
Every hour I just feel completely empty
Every day I feel a piece of me die

They say time will eventually ease the pain
It only seems harder with each tick
It’s been 4 days 3 hours and 11 minutes since you left
My how time doesn’t go by so quick
I try to smile just to try to fool myself
And to think you’ll be walking through that door
But they’re just dreams because I know that you’re gone
Since you left, there’s no need for time any more

Because every second it hurts to breathe
Every minute I try not to cry
Every hour I just feel completely empty
Every day I feel a piece of me die

I need to pick up these pieces
I need to stop wasting my days
It’s for me to be strong now
And stop myself from these miserable ways

Now every second it gets easier to breathe
Every minute I don’t even want to cry
Every hour I feel a little less empty
Every day I thank G-d that I’m alive
