I'm killing you right now
Just as you're reading this poem
Slowly, ever so slowly...

Every second
tick tock, tick tock
life goes on

Do you know the definition of kill?
'To deprive of life'
What I'm doing to you right now

Every second
tick tock, tick tock
I steal as you continue to read

Slowly, ever so slowly
you get closer to your death
I'm afraid it's unavoidable my love

Every second
tick tock, tick tock
I drain your life away

So as you waste your time
reading this
remember
you're getting closer
and closer
and closer
to the end.

Every second
tick tock, tick tock
my darling, are you dead yet?
