Image for the poem Stop. Rewind. Die. Stop. Rewind...

Stop. Rewind. Die. Stop. Rewind...

Take a moment.
-
Cherish the silence.
-
Before something else goes bad.
Before you have to go back.
-
The little bug called time softly TICKS in your ears.
Take a slow breath.
Here comes the next dilemma.
There's another thing trailing on your heels.
-
Unaware it's coming up,
when he attacks you
all you can do is yell
STOP
-
-
-
The time is frozen
you're close to shreds.
Soon you will be dead.
-
Take a quick moment,
to understand where it went wrong,
then rewind the time and continue the song.
-
Stop. Die. Rewind.
These monsters aren't too kind.
Tick tick tick.
Let the sounds slowly stick.
You won't escape the prison,
That is this game.
If you die again there's another tick on the wall of shame.
-
Soon it goes back.
Time not so precious.
Stop the mistake.
Continue your trek.
-
There goes another problem,
Following you ever so keenly,
Again unknowing,
looks like this won't be easy.
-
Dead yet again.
Stop a moment.
Take a breath.
Rewind the timeline,
And mark down another death.
-
Stop. Die. Rewind.
These monsters aren't too kind.
Tick tick tick.
Let the sounds slowly stick.
You won't escape the prison,
That is this game.
If you die again there's another tick on the wall of shame.
