I stood still

Rigid

My eyes peered forward

Time had never

Ever

Passed so slowly

I did not move

My body, frozen

The seconds ahead,

Fleeting

And yet,

So slowly

I wished it would come sooner

A wish I would soon

Regret

A small foreign object

slicing

Digging into skin

Between my eyes

Time

Has

Never

Passed

So

Slowly.
