Turning the hands
Fleeing away again
Every day every minute
The ties binding
Scenes changing
Innocence lost
Suffered none
Head held high
To the sun
Casting itself down
Lying upon itself
Entertaining a moment
Until winter comes
Allows itself comfort
Unto myself I stand
And turn to my side
Here again somehow
Night and you are gone
My moon reflecting
Soft and fatigued
Loss at noon
Every last day
Sitting here I pretend
I can sink into you
Just for a day
Or maybe two
Author notes
Just because I am feeling a little arrogant today (was called so, so I must act as such) I will try and stump you guys. Not that I don't love you, again I am just becoming arrogant. So, if you can guess which word I used, I will personally give you 100 points. Just because I am arrogant, and caring. (Being that I am arrogant, I will tell you it is not Drift, Slip or Worn.) And no offense to you guys for doing this, I figured this contest was fun, so I'd give you guys some fun as well, while giving you a chance to get points for this great contest

I don't particularly care that you're arrogant.
Anyway, this didn't make much sense; the word usage in this was so cryptic that the poem's meaning is obscured. I imagine this is what you were aiming for, but it makes for a difficult read.
Anyway, I'll think on this some more and get back to you on my guess. -

That's where you have to think about it.
Duh. The whole point was to not understand it.

Hours perhaps?
Yes, the arrogance shows. Rather funny. Of course... You might be like this all the time. I don't know because I have no idea who you are...
Either way, this was beautifully composed. Excellent work. -

Oh no, not all the time, of course not. I am actually really humble. But quite spiteful if need be. And blackknight, Starlight owl is quite correct in his statement there. Poetry to me is not something to be spelled out, you have to feel it. When you read it, forget the words in it, completely. And hopefully when you do so, you can feel the message. BTW, Hours is not correct, however BlackKnight still has a guess. Hope you figure it out!
P.S. I hope you guys don't mind if I check out some of your poetry and critique it. -

HER!!!! Not his! Her! Rawr! Sorry... I tend to be a little touchy on things like that.

I do apologize, I did not know you were female. Please accept my apology. Very sorry!

I should hope you didn't know... But it is that hard to check? Or use a non-gender related word? It's quite alright.
