"Don't tell me the moon is shining: show me the glint of light on broken glass."


Tick tock, tick tock, 

The beating of a broken heart.

 

Tick tock, tick tock,

One step forward, three steps back.

 

Tick tock, tick tock, 

I still hear your voice, like a memory.

 

Tick tock, tick tock,

One step forward, three steps back.

 

Tick tock, tick tock, 

Each memory like a crashing wave.

 

Tick tock, tick tock,

One step forward, three steps back.

 

Tick tock, tick tock, 

I turn to let go, feel the emptiness,

 

Tick tock, tick tock, 

One step forward, never going back.

Just a poem I wrote while I was bored during English class.
