Like clockwork he becomes
Numb
He freezes
A bitter tear rolls down
Clinging to his bottom lip
In two hours
Just two hours
He’ll be laughing and warm
But for now
Like clockwork he becomes
Numb
He freezes
Failure and fear bite at his day
Stuck in bed pillow over head
Just peace and quiet
Please
Just two more hours
Numb
Freeze
Tears
Release
Resting in bed is all it takes
Just two more hours
Like clockwork
He’ll be fine
