Dying Batteries

Every minute,
Every second
I'm a step closer to my
Death.
Every birthday,
Every knitted sweater
I'm a step closer to my
Fall.
Every decision,
Every choice
I'm a step closer to my
End.
Every time I ignore them,
Every time I don't say it back,
Every time I say "I hate you,"
That time is just around the corner.
For
Even
When
Our
Clocks
Run
Out
Of
Batteries,
We
Still
Don't
Spend
Our
Minutes
Wisely.
