Past and Present

You 

are the 

hands

on the clock.

Making sure

things 

went 

along

according 

to your rules.

You 

can keep

the time

both past

and present.

I don't 

need those

hands

holding

my dreams

down

as your

passive 

words

try to 

stab me.

I see

who you 

really are 

and 

I can

pass

on both

the past 

and

present

without

you.
