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
