Time Is Ticking

why?
why do we always think we have more time?
as if the ticking pounding at our door went silent...

for just a few seconds...

we thought we had all the time in the world
but the ticking got louder, and louder
more violent every slam of their fist on love's door
and one day... the ticking stopped
the door caved in 
and our time ran out

the part that hurts the most is that
i thought we pull our universes 
and collide them into one...
together...

Thank you for the multiple comments Caren!! You are so sweet! It really helps me believe in what I love to do! I'm 15 so it's hard to find people my age with the same or interest or even care so I always thought my writing wasn't the best but when I started this site it really helped me believe in myself :)
