House Fire

you make me wanna scream
you make me wanna run
this bird that flies
and infiltrates my mind

the exquisite nature of the bird is truly special
the way it’s wings flap in the direction of the wind
the way it’s delicate body lands in a puff 

but the birds talons are sharp
the prickly haunting nails scrape against the power lines
causing surge and fire we

but amongst this fire there is calm
the one untouched spot in the middle of the field 
in that spot there lies a single flower
untouched and wilting 
patiently waiting to be engulfed 
and so the bird watches
with a lovely grin
wilted flowers are dying 
and death is the bird
the bird burns so brightly
only to be reborn

as that bird that flies
and infiltrates my mind

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
