whispering

This is your life 
and it’s ending 
one minute at 
a time, is what
the clock is
whispering,

This is your heart
and it’s breaking 
one love at a time,
is what the world 
is whispering,

This is you and 
you’re growing 
one lesson at
a time, says
my mind,

and I wonder
which to trust 
and which is
bluffing....
