Tick Tock

Tick tock The eyes are back from where they came Watching, waiting, shivering, scratching, Catching, catching catching The eyes are back from where they came Like a glimmer on the wall Catching, catching, catching Down they tumble down they fall Like a glimmer on the wall Slipping, sliding, grabbing, gliding, Down they tumble, down they fall Tick tock, they say, tick tock, they mock Slipping, sliding, grabbing, gliding Endless dreams, and still they climb Tick tock, they say, tick tock, they mock Reaching with trembling, tearing fingers Endless dreams and still they climb Shrieking with voices like rusty gates Reaching with trembling tearing fingers Staring with eyes like molten rage Shrieking with voices like rusty gates Watching, waiting, shivering, scratching Staring with eyes like molten rage Tick tock ©Copyright 2015.
