Clocks sound like ticks of a bomb And I clench in moments of calm Wanting to hold the present so tight Refusing to look ahead is a loosing fight My emotions a mess and stomach twisted But tracks are set and it wont be shifted I scratch, bruise, and wound myself Despised with my own boundless wealth Family, friends, work and good health But I never earned this spot on the shelf So I do what I can, which is weep For those already put to sleep I hide my tears and say its fine As I watch your health decline I wish I could stop everything, freeze time Give you your dreams in place of mine But what is it worth this life I tide If its ends up without you by my side Is it wrong to mourn a loss not yet stolen After happy moments to find myself sullen A goodbye before we part Before I live with a broken heart

Bitter Sweet
Clocks sound like ticks of a bomb And I clench in moments of calm Wanting to hold the present so tight Refusing to look ahead is a loosing fight My emotions a mess and stomach twisted But tracks are set and it wont be shifted I scratch, bruise, and wound myself Despised with my own boundless wealth Family, friends, work and good health But I never earned this spot on the shelf So I do what I can, which is weep For those already put to sleep I hide my tears and say its fine As I watch your health decline I wish I could stop everything, freeze time Give you your dreams in place of mine But what is it worth this life I tide If its ends up without you by my side Is it wrong to mourn a loss not yet stolen After happy moments to find myself sullen A goodbye before we part Before I live with a broken heart
I hate health i hate how big the dreams we have are when we cant grasp them I hate progressing while they stagnate, it makes me detached with all that I hold.
