Face Like A Clock, (Looked)

The later things got
the earlier we became
my face looked like a clock (tick-tock)
and you could tell me anytime
"Read my palms, do they look red?"
I had to climb the tree outside for proof
Of just how tall you really were heading through the roof,
Oh how the faceless mob drone on about a spy in the sky
Light like instantly pouring from every pore of yore my poor eyes
Set the dates and the hands pointing low and high
Why would I ever want to close the book we dreamt
Forever is so long
Unless you guess it's not
the earlier we became
The later it got.

This leaves so much open for my imagination ! Loved it as I apply to these words my own interpretations from personal experiences... though I realize they may have nothing to do with the words' intentions you had in mind while writing this.... So, so good. Love where you send my thoughts to every time :)
