tick tock
the sound from the clock drives me insane as it echoes infinitely throughout the depths of my brain
tick tock.
the sound of your watch constantly clicking reminds me of the deadline i have until it's too late
tick tock
"my watch is a little slow"
thank you for leaving me with less time than i already had
thank you.
tick tock
how long until you notice that my hands have been fidgeting and shaking this entire time
tick tock
how long until you notice that i've grasped the seat and my knuckles are turning white
tick tock
this is my end and i'm not sure if you care but at least i tried
tick tock
you've paid attention to my good efforts but have torn them down with your negative words and rude remarks
tick tock.
"you are becoming the most negative person i know"
i guess i'm taking the likeness of you, you're a disease.
tick tock.
leave me.
tick tock.
one chance.
tick tock.
how long does it take?
tick tock.
tick-
