Attempts of sleep,
To no avail.
Surrounded by silence,
And silence broken,
By slow ticks.
Hands always move, always constant,
Yet, slowly coming to a close,
With never ending movement.
The clock is worn,
It’s old,
It’s exhausted. Like me.
The clock strikes four,
And I’m still here,
Suffocating in near silence.
A portion of an assignment. This part is my favorite
