As You Say Good~bye

When you say your sad good~bye
I look at the hands on the clock
So symbolic of my beating heart
As with those words the pendulum stops

It is like the moment is frozen
The whole world just slips away
Patiently waiting for your love
To come back another day

Minutes turn into hours
Though hands on the clock are still
Holding desperately to this time and place
As a heart aches against its will

How can good~bye become so devastating
A word is such a simplistic thing
Yet it keeps a heart here waiting
Looking for heartbeats in a pendulum swing
