As the Clock Ticks

As the clock ticks The stars tuck me in Each second passes into oblivion The night welcomes me Eyes stay open Body grows weary The final flickers of activity Closing up shop inside As the clock ticks Shadows dance on the wall The blankets clutch me I feel every part of me My soul lays down Body grows weary Closing up shop As the clock ticks Noises wish me goodnight Questioning my resilience Mind begins to fade Body grows weary Closing up As the clock ticks My pillow holds the world Dreams overtake reality Body grows weary Closing As the clock ticks Body shuts down
