Like clockwork
Every two weeks
You decide to fade away

And just like clockwork
Another two weeks pass
Before you say you’ve changed

Like clockwork
The words you promise me
Never match your actions

And just like clockwork
Every lie burns me
Leaving me in ashes

Like clockwork
Two weeks have passed
And you’ve decided to leave

And just like clockwork
I swallow my pride –
Praying for unpredictability.
