Tick Tock
April 20, 2015
Tick, tock.
The clock strikes thee.
The blood runs free,
pooling onto the floor.
Tick, Tock.
Time passes.
Limbs grow heavy
as we count the seconds,
the minutes.
Tick, Tock.
She slips further away
from us, from here.
Tick, Tock.
Blood stops flowing,
skin grows cold.
Eyes stop seeing,
ears stop hearing.
Tick, Tock.
The clock strikes four.
She is left-
In silence,
In darkness.
Tick,
Tock.
