Tick

Tick
Tick*
Boom

One day I'll have nothing,
To spend my time on.
Because I'll explode,
Like a ticking time bomb.

No such thing as darkness, just the absence of light.
No such thing as cold,just the absence of heat.
No such thing as hate, just the absence of *love.

Falling down a deep dark hole,
Falling down to live with moles.
Falling down after being pushed,
Falling down after feeling lust.
Falling down when I need you most,
Falling down like a terrible host.
Falling down to the empty space,

Falling down so I can't see your face.
Falling down to live a life of despair,
Falling down away from fresh air.
Falling down to where love can't live,

Falling down** *to where there's no love to give.

Love is a candle,
Burning bright for two,
But with time it dwindles,
As does my love for you.

The flame is to be shared,
Not dumped on just me.
Because that's when I burn,
Please, just set me free.

Say how you feel,
Don't make up excuses,
Because your excuses hurt more,
Than domestic abuses.

The candle burns and burns,
Using up all the wax,
Until there is nothing left,
And that's when we turn our backs.

Only when our backs are turned,
That's when I realise,
That I'm the only one who's burned,
And I'm the only one that cries.

Two** knights, fighting side by side,
One ready to ****, one ready to die.

Two truckers, driving in a convoy,
One is man, one is still a boy.

Two astronauts, floating in space,
One enjoys the view, one covers his face.

Two teens, after the same girl,
One goes for the gold, one lets him take his world.

Two killers, with knives at their backs,
One takes the life, one covers his tracks.

Two friends, talking about their lives,
One loves his friend, one envies his life.

You don't see it yourself,
But I witness it every day.
I see it in your smile,
And the way that you say "Hey!"

You "make yourself beautiful",
And it's just in the small ways.
But you really don't need to,
As this is the truth presently... and always.
