Clockwork

One last night
I’ll lie awake
And write ‘til my heart’s content

I’ll imagine everything I could be with you
I’ll envision every single possibility

I’ll transfer thoughts to words
I’ll inscribe them here on this blank white page

I’ll tell myself things can be different
I’ll contemplate all the things I can change

Then I’ll return to my clockwork routine
I’ll sleep
And I’ll be back again tomorrow night
