Black and White

White is all that surrounds me
In the state of sleepless dreaming soundly
White void of lonely wondering
Mind deeply pondering
turning dark and brooding
The darkness always intruding
Turn it black cant turn back
Tick tick tock
Beats the heart of the clock
Waiting
Always waiting
White to black
But never goes back
Thoughts eluding
Never concluding
Tick tick tock
Beats the heart of the clock
Back deep dark inside
Where I cower and hide
Black and white
Yet never quite right
Turn around and around
Fall to the endless ground
Tick tick tock
Beats the heart of the clock
