minutes, hours, seconds even

Painfully dance by mocking me
Tick… Tock… Tick… Tock…
Teasing me with hopes of the future
Tick Tick… Tock… Tick Tick… Tock
Leaving me with heartache of the past
Tock…Tock……Tock……… Tick

Deep breaths and Heavy Sighs
They leave my downturned mouth.
Years of youth kept my heart full of hope
But now all that’s left is this lump of regret
Stuck in my throat
Drink it down with the sadness

Time, you’re such a cruel keeper of dreams.

Oh Sweet Emptiness...
Is this where I belong?
I feel right at home
in the embrace
of my lost solitude.

Oh Sweet Happiness...
Where have you gone?
This was all
just a figment
of my hollow mind.

Oh how was my heart so wrong?

darkness overtakes me
beating me down
until I am numb
feeling at peace with the silence of my emotions
i’ve just grown too tired to care
my thoughts stopped putting up a fight
realizing the battle is over
we both have lost
