Ticking Like a Bomb

You won’t find me when you’re looking,
But you will know when I am gone,
Every single second feels like a year,
My hearts ticking like a bomb.

One day you will remember me,
Like a good old fashion song,
You never forgot the words to,
My hearts ticking like a bomb.

You take your time to notice,
You hear the sound of the alarms,
But you reached inside and pull the pin.

There is no moving on.

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist,and I’d love to discuss the possibility of bringing this poem to life if you're ever interested. Feel free to reach out at gm@il : [email protected]
