Signs
December 22, 2011
Tick, tock—
No, there’s no time—
Take this off my hands, will you?
Yes, it’s yours, it’s free.
Snip, snip—
No, there’s no time—
I want it all off, yes, all of it.
No, just keep the change.
Ring, ring—
No, there’s no time—
I was just calling to say…
Well, never mind, goodbye.
Ding, dong—
No, there’s no time—
The hands are circling, circling…
Yes, of course I slept fine.
Tick, tock—
No, there’s no time—
No time left anymore
For anyone to notice.

It's beautiful (if suicide can be called beautiful) in that you captured it spot on. Really intriguing and artistic. Will you check out some of my work and tell me what you think? Thanks :)

No, it is about suicide.

I love the poem! Most of my poems end up repeating too.
