My heart sways like a pendulum
endlessly swinging back and forth
conflicting emotions at either end
tick
tock
joy
sorrow
Time passes, things change
but also stay the same.
~
A battle constantly waging
thoughts continuously at war
tick
tock
hope
despair
Time passes, things change
but also stay the same.
~
So weary of this struggle
the pendulum’s unending swing
forever existing just outside of the threshold of relief
tick
tock
light
darkness
Time passes, things change
but also stay the same.
