clocks

9:23 PM


im nothing except numb and cold and torn and speechless


i've always wished that i could turn back the clock
start over
try again

and today i got to

only an hour, but an hour, an hour is enough

we didn't do anything about it though

we turned our clocks back an hour, and we did absolutely nothing about it.



today was different


maybe it's because it got darker sooner
 it got darker sooner and colder sooner

maybe it's because we set our clocks a little bit further away from death.



but if it was,
  


our clocks,







they failed us didn't they.
