Pendulums

Pendulums go strong before they slow,
making momentary pitstops making the heart drop,
but never forgetting its history.

Clocks are wound to stay on track,
and though they may wary back or flirt with a future that lacks,
they can always tell time.

Summer is hot because of the burning sun,
but it always hides no matter how hard you try
to keep it there, but you know it will always return.

But what if the string breaks and the swing is fake
or if the cogs are rusted and the time can't be trusted
or if the world is really just coming to an end?

I guess I'm naive and I know that I don't
It feels like the difference is between nothing and noone
I mean, if it wasn't, there would only be happily ever after.
