What time is it?

When he stopped recognizing time
I had to know what time it was all
The time. Day and night for a while
Were his to mix and match but I had
To know what time it was all the time
Day and night. He would ask after it
Knowing that it was eluding him but 
Wanting to keep track of the time all
The time. I had to know what time it
Was all the time to share the time 
With him. I had to know if it was day
Or night, morning or evening for him.
