Black and Silver

Evey time I stare down at it
I see a different time
It's always on my wrist
Or in my set of drawers

It's black and silver
And no matter how dusty it gets
The silver is always shining
Like the stars on a moonless night

It has been with me
Since my last one failed
The hand was frozen
It moved no more

My watch now
It has never failed, frozen
It has never stopped
That's why it's so important to me

I remember the day we bought it
So many years ago
My watch is my Talisman
My talisman that sits on my wrist
