A Solitary Goodbye

Tick Tock, Tick Tock

The ticking of the clock
to me,
is like a time bomb.
 
 
Tick Tock, Tick Tock
 
It rings in my ears,
It's the only thing,
I seem to hear,
as the blade
slicing through my veins,
and consciousness slowly,
starts to disappear.


Tick Tock, Tick Tock

 
The beating of my heart,
slows down, as my breath becomes,
short-ed,
gasps.  
Time re-lapse.  
No time to recover,
this time..
 
 
Tick Tock, Tick Tock
 
The last color my eyes see,
is the red liquid leaking out,
from me.  
Oh! Fate.  
Destiny,
has become,
me.

 
Tick Tock, Tick Tock
 
Not a soul,  
to wish me a tearful 'Goodbye.'
Just silence, overwhelms,
the little life,
that I hold on to,
at this moment in time.


Tick Tock, Tick Tock

 
For this is the moment I die,
and with my last sigh,
I breathe my last breath,
on the door,
eternal sleep knocks,
as the clock
keeps the steady beat of...


Tick Tock, Tick Tock
