Tick tock time continues
the earth rotates and people don't seem to mind
the people stare and wait
the people reach for it
it leaves and goes
they are fixated waiting for it to return
It never comes back

the people wait and reach
watching it come closer and not what is around
around yells but they can't seem to hear
it win

the people watch and leave
they watch and before they know it, gone
gone with ever chance they had and gone forever
