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.
