The Lost Sea of Time

Time stands still,
the pendulum swings,
we're frozen in time together,
but I can't see a thing.
Your hand holds mine,
squeezes it tight,
yet the fluid that fills me,
is turning to ice.
The people are drowning,
in waves of disdain,
the seas keep on surging,
but still you keep me sane.

My hand slips away,
falls from you,
falls from life,
suddenly I'm drowning,
just like the others in the night.
But in this sea of lost love,
an arm comes and grabs,
pulling me up above,
onto the living land.
Your smile thaws me,
and time moves again,
the pendulum swings,
and we're together again.
