A Black Watch

I wear a watch

a black watch

I know my potential

yet life moves

I just watch

time races forward

there’s no reason

for this depression

when they tell me

it’s not my fault

they don’t know what

they are talking about

of course I did this

unto myself and

I could tell you why

the only perplexing

question is how

is this truly

the side effect of

waiting and learning

the price of observing

depression and understanding

I question whether

there was ever love

more I watch

more I lose hope

there’s nothing to

hold faith in

my only comfort

the fact that I

will die

I wear a watch

a black watch

the end of time

it does not tell

and how it helps

I do not know

it cannot tell

someday I’ll fly

someday I’ll die

either way

I’ll know why

I wear a watch

it won’t tell me

what time remains

a black watch

shows to me

what time has gone

this information

serves no use

as I said

yet again

how it helps

I do not know

eventually I will

eventually I will

die just as

we all do

until then

until some when

I wear a watch

a black watch
