Does it count my heart beats
    Or the time I have left
I pray
For it to tick a little faster
Tick

The sun sets slowly
Does it too wish to go back to when it first rose?
      But also wish
To be at the end already?

It follows me everywhere
Could it let me be for a second?
Let me breathe
In silence

I don't think you know
Just how many
Times I've checked my phone, so
Excited to see
If you've seen
My text but the screen
Flashes back at me
And I'm already
Aware
Of the fact that you
Don't care
As much as I do
But still I know you're online.
It's just that your time
Can never be mine.

An infinity passes,
and it's only been,
seven minutes,
forty two seconds.
7 April 2024 - Why?

The clock keeps ticking on.

First a second, then an hour.

Then a year, then a decade.

The sun had always shone for me,

but now I stand only in the dusk.

The clock keeps ticking on.

Two decades dead and gone,

How many more have yet to come?

The clock keeps ticking on.

It's the continuous silent yet pressing "tick-tock"
In my head heard though I own no clock
It's opening eyes every morning to familiar pain
And constant weight of loneliness driving me insane
Sorry I haven't been posting lately

"life is tick boxes and notes.
i am guilty of loving stationery."
can you play "love story" by "monsieur minimal."
let's create the full experience thats why time doesnt exist.

The hands of time
took care
from one minute to the next
till they left it in an hour
and moved on without it.

Time, then, broke.

to the girl who still hasn't taken a shower
because it hurts to be clean and still feel so ***** inside

who spends all her money on the things she hates about herself
and wonders why she can't stop

i wonder why i can't stop
i feel like a broken clock.
