Tick tock, tick tock—the seconds slip out of our hands,
Tick tock, tick tock—like waves that erase what they land.
Tick tock, tick tock—I try not to think what it means,
That loving you turns all my tomorrows to dreams.
Tick tock, tick tock—your laughter is light in the air,
Tick tock, tick tock—I hold every moment with care.
Tick tock, tick tock—like time is a thief drawing near,
And I am afraid it will steal you from here.
Tick tock, tick tock—I trace every line of your face,
Tick tock, tick tock—each second I try to embrace.
Tick tock, tick tock—I cling to the warmth that you give,
And fear all the days we may not get to live.
Tick tock, tick tock—so stay just a little while more,
Tick tock, tick tock—you’re all that I’m counting time for.
Tick tock, tick tock—when everything else comes undone,
You are my moment, the only one.

We are two worlds apart
But standing on one
I have green grass
& you have sandy dunes
Gravity tries to pull us back
But I’ll never live in your hell
You keep a constant orbit around my mind
But theres no room for you in my galaxy
Love wasn't the problem
It was always you

Shadows consumed the beams before me.
Gritty dust coats the air like a thick haze.
The voices that call out to me have been hushed.
With the glass bridge shattered,
I’m stuck in this grey world alone.
I thought I couldn’t sleep with the light off
but I guess the dark doesn’t bother the blind.

Emotions
are sticky
I’m tired
of the same feelings
over and over again
like a record
on repeat
and i just can’t seem
to turn it off

Wide awake
My eyes sting
My head hurts
My mind keeps running
Like its got no place to be
My body lays paralyzed
As i beg from my soul
Please stop thinking
Please, please go to sleep

It starts like a spark
Words overflow in my mind
Feelings flood neck deep
They spill in a funnel
And onto the page
Shaping and pulling
And molding its essence
Then the mind drip drys
Words turn to mush
My thoughts frozen over
I rip out the page and start again

I sit at the small wooden table
Basking in the fire's warmth
As I eat with my family
I mutter a witty statement
And sister hits me with her spoon
Laughter fills the room
I blink and its all gone
I sit alone at my apartments counter
Eating nothing more than instant ramen and thinking about those days i miss

It tastes like the static of the TV
A continuous numbing void
That consumes all thoughts and dreams
There's no where to run and hide
The weight of it all is my confinement
And it destroys that last piece that ever made me human

A man dressed in red
With sweet, enticing words
And a song so harmonizing
Like the tune of a bird's
Cold midnight wind
Played with his crimson cloak
He whistled a song
And my silence broke
"Who are you?
Why are you here?"
Quick was his response
He whispered in my ear
"The time is come
You are near
And at last
I do appear.
Whom am I you might ask
But do not dread
I cannot hurt you
I am the Phantom in Red
I will show you
Things no one else sees
The locked up secrets of the world
And I have the keys"

It came to me in a dream
You were under a white beam
Your shadow echoed under the light
It seems though it was night
I saw your face once more
The one that I still adore
Your skin was pale and eyes void
Reminding me of the day your life was destroyed
I had seen you for the last time
And now my heart could retire to peacetime
