time and time again

have you ever felt time stopping?
looking into your wrist
hoping that the clock is still ticking away
and realising that it has stopped
its neverending circular journey
momentarily
but long enough to make you think
about what has changed
in that particular split second

time can be deceiving
consume your thoughts
and put a shadow in your days
time will release you
from its chains
when you've seen it stop
for the very last time
