THREE CLOCKS

I had three clocks:
one for ambition
one for true love
and one for independence.

The third stopped its ticking
when its goal was fulfilled

The second was smashed
before I'd crossed that bridge

and the first's cogs were clogged
by the gears of the second.

Leaving me hanging over the river,
- looking over the railing,-
neither here nor there,

until Chronos comes
to fix the hands that have stopped.

Fairly self explanatory.
True love's cog's got tangled in the mechanisms of ambition, stalling it.
