Staring at the pair of you As you stand staring out the window in the living room Like clockwork Every afternoon, the same exact spot in the room Waving to the grand kids as they frantically wave back at you Like clockwork Your still silhouettes, the filigree of the curtains kept Yellow from the cigarette smoke creeping down from upstairs Like clockwork Murmuring a debrief, of all the things that just happened As if you didn't witness them first hand, begin the re-enactment Like clockwork A long day of passing hours, housebound, staring at the flowers Reading, sleeping, watching TV, swimming, pacing, waiting for tea Like clockwork Flurries of small talk as the nightly news poisons the air In the presence of your photo frames, fading claret leather chairs Like clockwork It's been sixty years and you're still here, side by side, the same old fears The same old meals, every night between 4 and 5 Like clockwork If I had wings I'd fly away, if you had wings you'd try to find a way to hide them away My mistake, you're too busy to fly today; there's something burning in the microwave But either way i'm ashamed you had to compromise your dying days So I could have my quality of life today, I spend every night lying wide awake Fearing that the time I take to write and say these lines i've made is a crime against My best interests, and i'm afraid That every moment I'm not with you is time I waste Is eternal love just compromise, repetition and routine Or is it still burning, too subtle for my young eyes to see? I ask myself Like clockwork
