Tick Tock


Tick tock 

goes that clock 

when will it stop?

that stupid clock 

well, when it stops 

so does my heart 

Tick tock

when will it stop 

that stupid clock 

that's attached to my heart 

Tick tock

i wish it would stop 

because i don't deserve 

the life that i got 

Tick tock 

goes that clock 

but than it stops 

and my body rots 

Tick tock 

went the clock 

than it stopped 

and seemed to be locked 

Tick tock 

went the clock 

until it stopped 

when i was shot

Just your typical geek. If you care to look deeper though...You can see the layers I have created. The worlds I call my own live in my imagination. Creating riddles and poems and lives and characters to become and get lost in. No one knows me, or at least the me behind the blinds. PLEASE COMMENT instagram=tamingofseawolves
