Clock

Tick tock goes the clock
Staring into space
Thoughts going through my mind
Every second of the day

Numbers and hours
The time goes down
Ten, nine, eight
Around and around
Permanently stuck in toxic sense

Ten times through
Thriving to escape
Only to be stuck and reshaped
Value is limited

While heart decays
Air bubbles rise as countdown starts
Nuclear weapon destructive
Intense wave of heat

Many of the feelings lay defeat
Abused soul bare for the world to see
Sharing your secrets and confidence
Tick tock time is running

Have just one more minute
Shoved to the side as another comes in
Life's too short to start again
Can't contain the sudden release of energy.

Atoms come together
Leaving the chain reaction
As affections rupture
Making atomic weapon.

Slam, rumble, bam, clack
Sound of my life as it breaks and cracks
Atomic bomb has replaced my thoughts
Tick tock goes my heart
