Ticktockticktock

the ticking is unbearable tick tock the time is flying faster than a plane my heart racing at the speed of light every minute it’s like a knife tick tock that’s getting bigger and sharper by the minute but instead of my own blood tick tock it’s yours it’s yours being splattered on my hands my brain being handcuffed tick tock as the ruthless adjudicator takes you away from me takes you to who knows where tick tock and the worst part about your terrible fate is that your ready you’re so ready tick tock each second your closer and closer your heart is racing with excitement you’ll finally be free tick tock and i’m so selfish i’m keeping you imprisoned but when the dark hour hits the clock tick tock i’ll replace you in your cage and it’s just me mourning and slowly whispering “tick tock” as the knife stabs until someone else takes my place
