Your Ticking Time Bomb

Could explode any minute Every second you spend with me could be your last Yet you still love your ticking time bomb. I don’t mean to blow up in you face It was all uncociously done Yet you hold me tighter As dangerous as it its You still love your ticking time bomb. I wish you wouldn’t though It would be much easier on me I don’t want to hurt you But it would be impossible for me to leave Because there’s no one else out there That would dare love a ticking time bomb. But the lit match follows me every where I go The burns from previous explosions will forever remain on you perfect face Time may heal, but it won’t repair them fully. At any time the fuse will run out I shudder at the thought I know that I could kill you But like a moth to a Fire… I’m drawn to you Locked forever in you gaze. With the timer ticking backwards far to fast Tick Tick Tick But you ignore the loud ticking and the hidden flames Because you still love your ticking time bomb. Masked timer The end is unknown But I know in the depths of my fiery heart that the time is near And I twill be a fatal blow. But overseeing what’s true And focusing on the present time You still love you ticking time bomb. Tick Tick Tick Louder it is now Racing with the beating of my heart You hold me even tighter keeping me close I force myself away trying to keep you out of harms way But you love your ticking time bomb So with me you stay. Sweat accumulates and tears roll down Heart pounding I feel so helpless I know I wont be able to save you from myself I look into your eyes Your beautiful forgiving eyes A final kiss… The ticking stops and the fire hits it’s end . . . . . And you will always love your ticking time bomb.
