what rules the hands

turning and churning the hands just roll by,
they point to the numbers that rule the sky,
the sky doesn't know how they do it each day,
how they make it each day, how they make each day,
they command everything with a silent supremacy that is so constant and consistant nothing can hold it back,
everything is powerless against it,
one cannot touch it, hold it, explain it, take it back, or change anything about it,
everyone moves through it in one devote direction,
it is never on anyone's side,
and with everything it does it takes your life away as it keeps in steady perfection,
slowly or quickly but always the same pace,
it has killed billions of people,
it has created beautiful discoveries,
it has been studied,
it has been meddled with in fictional books and frivolous stories,
it is dangerous and incredibly kind,
creating everything in everyone's mind,
it heals all wounds,
but also creates them,
through it wonders and horrors are made without thought,
it moves the stars the sun the planets and moons,
it takes to you to morning the evening and an afternoon,
the hands that point every hour do chime,
because all must obey the power of time.

someone to know

things she never knew about you are starting to haunt her now,
she wished upon a star, and it came true,
and now she gets the way you laugh out loud too,
and she's coming back just to get through to you,

you're hiding wounds from a war,
everyone can see through you and know that you're torn,
you've finally got someone to hold on to like a loving sore,
but you wanted to be alone all along,

if she had known this who knows?
something says inside of her that you knew this all along,
but she can not see how,
you're naive but so wise,
you're so fraudulent yet very real,

don't do this this time.
you're killing her inside,
you're making her weep when all you're doing is
hiding away the truth,
she knows the truth is there,
you're getting you both no where,
shoot up and don't be scared.

you're living two seperate lives,
one's the truth, another a lie,
different and the same,
but who's the one to blame?
like the stars and the sun,
you're apart and you're as one.

she just wanted someone to know,
know what she wanted someone to know that no one could ever know,
she wished upon a star for him, and it came true,
she wished for you.
