Time is of the Essence

They say

Time is of the essence.

That one thing

Or another

Is vitally important.

Quick actions and quick thoughts.

Time is of the essence.

Tik. Tok.

Tik. Tok.

Reach for your pen and write

They say.

Pick up the pace and get stuff done.

Embrace the time you have,

With everything more complete.

Time is of the essence.

Tik. Tok.

Tik. Tok.

To make things right,

Start by holding yourself high.

Take action in expressing

The true empathy time holds.

Keep writing till your brain has

Nothing left.

Time is of the essence.

Tik. Tok.

Tik. Tok.

And although my bones are in fragments,

My stomach curdles,

And I hold all of this sorrow in me,

I understand that my body and mind needs time.

But,

Time is of the essence

Tik. Tok.

Tik. Tok.

And although my body weighs me down

Like a rock thrown into the ocean,

Voices still repeat the same things;

Time is what you work around,

Time is everything.

Time is of the essence.

Tik. Tok.

Tik. Tok.

And although my bones are crumbled,

And my soul is darkened,

I will glue back the pieces as

Quickly as possible.

Time is of the essence.

Tik. Tok.

Tik. Tok.

I will take every shattered raw bone I have left

And put myself back together.

I will paint my blackened heart red again

So it will blend in.

Is this what you want?

Time is of the essence.

Tik.

Tok.

“I love when you become so close with someone that you can see parts of each other in one another and you begin to say the same things and steal lines from one another and have a similar sense of humor and can exchange an inside joke with just a glance you don’t even have to talk because you have such a strong connection with them and you can sit in comfortable silence but also talk for hours it’s really hard to find that kind of compatibility”

“This was a large wooden house, built in a fashion of which there are specimens still extant in the streets of our elder towns; now mossgrown, crumbling to decay, and melancholy at heart with the many sorrowful or joyful occurrences remembered or forgotten, that have happened and passed away within their dusky chambers.”
