Tick
    
     Tock

Time flutters and flits by
With no rhythm at all
A moment's gone in a second
A battle a devastating hour
Time takes away
Love, loss, life;
All controlled by the tick-tocking device
Time rarely blesses
It gives and gives
But no joy is wrought
Because the clock's ticking
And it isn't going to stop
We just live in this chaos,
Hoping for just one more tick
Or one more tock

Tick

          Ti-

Your clock has stopped

The stars of her eyes
Were barely visible through the windows of her soul
So she came to society
To ask for help to brighten her glow
Society gave her a match
And said, "Don't be shy"
So she lit her eyes up
Without ever asking why
The flame started out slow
But spread faster than disease
So instead of being the brightest star
She found herself being swallowed by the seas
