"restrain" poems - Hello Poetry

I was relaxed, and deep in thought The type of talk that silence brought When just in earshot it rocked, tick tock tick tock "Must be a clock" I told myself and resumed my thought Though as the seconds passed I could not, Despite the will with which I fought Do to its incessant knock Tick tock Tick tock I searched for the clock Unable to find the train I sought I grew more and more distraught With each and every tick and tock That find the clock, I could not As the silence grew more fraught With the knock, Tick Tock Tick Tock I knew the pain of Lancelot On and on it ticked and tocked I cursed at the unseen dreadnought It no longer merely mocked But each and every tick and tock Became an unseen onslaught TICK TOCK TICK TOCK T'was 11 o'clock, When my heart felt the gunshot Though the shots I could not block And on and on the bullets poured Further into the fray I bored Each foot a cinderblock Weighed by war I slowly walked Tick Tock Tick Tock How I'd make it answer for Alas With little blood left to speak for Desperately I implored "Restrain your hands that caused such gore; We need not fight evermore!" But when I heard the ceaseless knock Tick tock Tick tock I new my words had been ignored And slowly collapsed to the floor ****** and bludgeoned when I hit bed rock, I had still found no clock But tick and tock it had forgot The church bell rang t'was 12 o'clock, Though mortal wounds the seconds wrought I no longer was distraught And as I lay in the hemlock It occurred in my last thoughts I would miss the beating knock tick..., tock... tick..., tock...
