Hour Zero

One hour left, the clock's unspinning,

The moment's cold, our history thinning.

You walked away, silent as the dawn,

Left me in shadows, where you’ve gone.

Hour zero, breath held tight,

Counting seconds into the night.

Was it just a fleeting shadow,

A whisper lost in the hollow?

Carved in time, a fleeting trace,

Memories fade, but I still chase.

From the hour zero, I remember you,

When the world stood still, and the sky turned blue.

Lost in the silence of your departing tune,

Hour zero echoes, beneath the moon.

Your footsteps fading in the hollow air,

Promises broken, leave me there.

A ticking clock, the final cue,

In the hour zero, I call for you.

Clock hands frozen, stories unsaid,

In the silence, where love once led.

Hour zero, come what may,

Hold me in your shadowed sway.
