Tick Tocks and Teardrops

That clock down the hall it ticks and it tocks
That hall's neverending and leads straight to Hell
My heart drowns in despair since she just disappeared
Eyes and ears filled now falling and scorching my soul 
Where acid rain pours and radiation rots...Damn those tick tocks and teardrops

She came like the sun...sexy,shining,and slow
Like the night she just vanished
Sex in the shadows of dawn and of dusk
I kick down doors and break triple locks
Driven by damnations desire...Damn those tick tocks and tear drops

I cried her a river of rage and revenge
Left dry in the desert...like a beast on a binge
The slow soul singe
Frenzied on the fringe in fields of fire
I search and I seek like a hunter for hire
I want to let her go but I just can't stop...Damn those tick tocks and teardrops

Now I'm locked in her love in her prison of pain
She lies and she laughs and she drives me insane
Like flowers of 4ever that never wither or die
Like a warewolves uncontrolled urges and wants
Driven to destruction...like a dime I drop...Damn those tick tocks and teardrops

Hey Anthony! This is a powerfully raw piece. Passionate lines creating forceful imagery. The black and the white here...stands out like zebra. Wishing you well, best to you, Mikki
