Waiting: A poem depicting the feelings of Mark Doty in Heaven's Coast

What time is it?
What else can I do?
Time never stops
for you,
these days keep on fading
they keep wasting away.
We could sit here together,
we could loose this today.
It's not what the doctors tell me,
it's the silence I won't take,
it's your hand held in mine,
it's the feeling you can't shake.
I stand here alone,
watching waves roll by,
it's like watching a clock hand,
it's like watching your eyes.
I have some decisions to make
and I know you do too.
Time will never stop,
it won't stop for you.
