A Poem About Wishing Time Would Slow Down
Stay
Stay with me here
today, now
remain still
as the pavement beneath our feet
stay in love
with me here,
before the world starts again
before I remember I exist
stay as sure as your hands on my skin
and your pretty words in my head
Cinderella bade the clock to halt,
So I beg you to change minutes
into hours
and stay.
