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.

i like it,its interesting!
"They leave my downturned mouth."nice phrase!
the onomateopoeia in the first verse gives it a steady beat!


Thanks Amy for such great feedback. I'm glad you got what I was trying to do with the pacing. :)

"But now all that&#8217;s left is this lump of regret
Stuck in my throat
Drink it down with the sadness"

This is a wonderful poem. It reached right into my own throat and made me sigh. Nicely done...

time will never stop, even if we think it goes along with us individually, it is the only thing we share
