There is a clock in my house that is always ticking.

Tick tok tick tok

Sometimes, when I am all alone all I can hear is that clock

tick tok tic tok

hypnotizing me, transporting me to a place within my mind, a place that used to be beautiful and tragic, but now I can't tell which one anymore.

tick tok tick tok

I have began to count the ticks each one reminding me of the time I have wasted

tick tok tick tok

Each second, minute, hour of my life that I thrown away.

tick tok tick tok

I swear if this goes on any longer my heart will begin to beat in the metronomic rhythm

tick tok tick tok

Is no one else bothered that each tick represents one less second until death?

tick tok tick tok

Is this all just in my mind? Am I the only one who is going insane from the--

tick tok tick tok

I can’t sleep, I can’t think, all I can hear is ticking

tick tok tick tok

Its like a time bomb in my head

tick tok tick tok

Waiting to explode

tick tok tick toc

Is it me or is the clock getting louder...

tick tok tick tok

THE **** CLOCK!

tick tok tick tok

IT WONT SHUT UP!

tick tok tick tok

TELLING ME THAT NOTHING LASTS

tick tok tick tok

REMINDING ME THAT TIME IS PASSING AND I CANT DO ANYTHING TO STOP IT!

tick tok tick tok

I pull out the batteries

tick toc tick----
So, ticking clocks seem to drive me insane...

Punch the clock
Tick Tok
Tick Tok
Feel the sweat sting my eyes
Tick Tok
Tick Tok
Clutch the handle
Make off like vandal
Stealing what's yours
Stealing what's mine

Eyes fixed, Teeth grinning
Tick Tok
Tick Tok
Harder and harder, No remorse here
Tick Tok
Tick Tok
Stabbing, ripping, ****** for more
Do with her as if she's a *****
A hollow shell
And none to tell

A sigh of pleasure
Tick Tok
Tick Tok
Turn off the light, shut the door
Tick Tok
Tick Tok
Leave her bleeding, battered and bruised
Give her a day off
You'll be back for more

Punch the clock
Tick Tok
Tick Tok
Tick Tok
Tick Tok
Tik tok tik tok
Suara jarum jam menggema dalam ruangan kosong tanpa makna
Menggerogoti memori memori lampau
Menghadirkan sebuah kenangan
Tik tok tik tok
Sunyi, sepi tanpa kehadiranmu
Senyumanmu
Kerinduanku
Menjalar disetiap nadiku
Tik tok tik tok
Engkau pria ku
Tegakah kau membuatku menunggu
Menunggu hal yang tak pasti
Bagai matahari dan bulan yang berdampingan
Tik tok tik tok
Bahkan eksistensimu melebihi suara jarum jam
Yang selalu menggema direlung hati ku
Yang bahkan kosong melompong
Tik tik tik tik
Kini tak terdengar lagi
Jarum jam sudah lelah
Waktu sia sia
Terkelupas bersamaan dengan hujan yang membasahi hati

Tatlong katok lang ang layo ng katahimikan
"wala dito, kanina pa umalis mama ko"
utos sa anak na walong taong gulang
habang nagtatago sa palikuran
"sabihin mo sa mama mo, na nagbigay ako ng ulam"
"salamat po ninang!"
"walang anuman", bago siya lumisan.

tatlong katok lang ang layo ng katahimikan
"wala dito, kanina pa umalis mama ko"
utos sa anak na walong taong gulang
habang nagtatago sa palikuran
napakamot na lang ang naniningil ng utang
gigil na nagpaandar ng motor
sapagkat siya'y nagulangan

tatlong katok lang ang layo ng katahimikan
sa pagkatok, tanong ay "tao po?"
sagot ay "tao po"
biglaan ang pagka gulantang
"anak, dali! magtago ka doon sa palikuran"
alam na niya kung sino ang dumating
takot ang bumalot sa kapaligiran
namumugtong na mga mata
at nginig na mga kamay na parehas kumakaliwa
bakas ang kaba sa mukha

at tatlong katok lang ang layo ng katahimikan
ang pinto'y hindi binubuksan
nabasag ang katahimikan kasabay
ng pagbagsak ng sirang pintuan
nasurpresa sa kanyang mga bisita
nangingilid na ang luha
bigay todo ang pagmamakaawa
isa dalawa tatlo, hanggang anim
anim na nakaunipormeng magsasaka
hindi palay ang itinatanim, kundi bala

kasabay ng panlalamig ng katawan
ang ingay ay nilamon bigla ng katahimikan
at kasabay ng katahimikan
ang kanyang ina
ay
binawian
ng
buhay...

Tik tok tik tok,  
We look back,  
To the people that we've met,
To the places we went,  
To the events that touched our soul,  

Tik tok tik tok,
As time passes by, 
Some travel against the current, 
Refusing to let go,  
Unwilling to consign them to oblivion,  
Hopelessly trying to salvage what was lost,  
Reticently denying the future,

Tik tok tik tok,
As the clocks turns forevermore,
We realise that lost times will never come back,
What has been done can never be effaced,
The only thing to do is to be maturely insouciant,
As there is no such thing as a panacea,

Tik tok tik tok,
The voices of future past deafens us,
With every tik of the clock,
It seems to grow rambunctiously,  
Thoughts run endlessly,
Of paradise on earth,
That we may or may not achieve in our lifetime.
JK Cabresos Nov 2011
tik tok...
tik tok...

as the sound of the clock,

always reading between the lines
my regrets,
my tears,
my regrets

tik tok..
tik tok..

caught in the middle,
can't solve every life's riddle

always up against the walls,

tik tok...
tik tok...

as the sound of the clock,

alas!
no!
alas!

when the day becomes another day
all I can hear in my ears is

tik tok...
tik tok...

Tik Tok
Is it morning again?
Do I have to wake up?
Tik Tok
I like this dish
But it doesn't taste the same anymore
Tik Tok
My hair's a mess
But so is my life
Tik Tok
I have to go out
Oh no, face the world
Tik Tok
I'm out for so long
Do I have to go back? Is it home?
Tik Tok
The day passed and it was uneventful. Or was it?
Did I do something wrong? Did something happen?
Tik Tok
Is it morning again?

Rap I:
My embrace is a fortress for you,
I have so often thrown and what can I do?
I can’t see the end of that dark tunnel
So I’m very afraid. I give you signal.
I’m like a desert with a blazing sun,
I'm dying of thirst, but I can not run
Kiss me my baby, I’ll show you the way,
Run to me, before that night is over, day by day…

Verse I:
I miss your eyes and your arms,
I guess I loved you too much.
When this night passes by warm,
I wipe off my tears – tok, tok, tok…
If the moon gaining force – disappear –
Your scent that still remains such.
Will fairy memories turn into fear?
Like rain drops, far away, tok, tok, tok…

Chorus:
Kiss me baby I’ll must be stay here day by day,
Whisper, please, that you still love me.
Kiss me baby just you can take me day by day,
Hitherto than dry my tears ere…

Refraine:
Just like the wind, you disappeared
Day by day. I miss you, day by day…

Verse II:
At night, I long walk on memories,
I hear your voice, and words amorous.
The countless nights full vows infinite, young boy…
They become tears – tok, tok, tok…

Chorus:
Kiss me baby I’ll must be stay here day by day,
Whisper, please, that you still love me.
Kiss me baby just you can take me day by day,
Hitherto than dry my tears ere…

Refraine:
Just like the wind, you disappeared
Day by day. I miss you, day by day…

Bridge:
If I think of you again,
Tears poured out of my eyes and then,
Please, tell me that you return,
And love outlive tremendous upturn…

Rap II:
You leave me and go far away,
Follow that road and please, just remain.
At the end of this crazy love – harmful troubling,
I was infected by this tough love and kept trembling.
I hope my lips that recite this sad song,
Will be remembered in your black eyes, I can’t wrong.
Kiss me my baby, I’ll show you the way,
Run to me, before that night is over, day by day…

Chorus:
Kiss me baby I’ll must be stay here day by day,
Whisper, please, that you still love me.
Kiss me baby just you can take me day by day,
Hitherto than dry my tears ere…

Outro:
Kiss me baby, take me day by day…

Tick tok Tick tok Tick tick
Every second feels eternal
My mind floods with thoughts, each second
I’m drowning, under the flooding thoughts of the truth
Tick tok Tick tok Tick tick
The truth which I am trying to submerge under the conscious, into the subconscious
It struggles to penetrate the horizon
Tick tok Tick tok Tick tick
Time slows down, as I see my thoughts
In front of me, they stand
Time runs out
Tick tok Tick tok Tick tick

Tik tok, tik tok
Life is a clock
Tik tok, tik tok
My ship has left the dock
time is running out so make every second count
Tok tik, tok tic

Tok tik, tok tik

tik tok tik tok
the sound of my personal clock
tik tok tik tok*
the time bomb that just wont stop
ding **** ding ****
the sound of a visitor here
ding **** ding ****
the pain they  try to  feel
splish splash splish splash
the sound of the somber rain
splish splash splish splash
fills an ocean full of my pain
knock knock bang bang
the pain the visiter can finally feel
knock knock bang bang
the pain they   try to heal
once i open the door and
let them in they save me    
from my own ordeal

Tik tok ... tik tok
Take a glimpse at the clock
It is turning eight
We can't wait
For the story in the book

Tik tok .... tik tok
Clean up toys like a rock
put this here
Put this there
Clean up the room everywhere

Tik tok ... tik tok
Bath time with some soap
Wash your hand
Wash your leg
Wash the day off your neck

Tik tok ... tik tok
Bed is warm and so soft
Close your eyes
Dream so nice
Tomorrow comes shine and rise

Tik-tok, tik-tok,  
goes the clock;  
it tells me time is running out.  

It makes me scared.  

I've always laughed, loved, and lived,  
but I won't be doing any of that  
if he leaves,  
if she leaves,  
if they leave.  
But I will hold on  
'til my tik-tok stops,  
'til I can't hear my tik-tok  
anymore, because  
tik-tok  
goes  
the  
clock.

I wrote this poem in my mother tongue of Tokpisin. It is about how Wisdom comes and speaks to one about changing their ways.
When the days end, nights befall, 
Mind keeps wondering alone in the dark streets.
Running from wild fire in forest, 
Scared of the horror, she shouts in pain.
She opens her eyes, clock goes tik tok tik tok...
She gets cold in freezing winter,
Beside a frozen lake, under thousand stars.
The waves takes her inside,
She fights and fights.
She can feel the salty water, she looses her grip,
And the ocean goes darker.
She opens her eyes, clock goes tik tok tik tok...
She keeps running, never cease to stop. 
Her shoes are tore, body tired, eyes heavy with sleep,
But she can still hear the clock goes tik tok tik tok...
Tik tok tik tok
I know it's been a long time
But I'm still waiting for you to arrive

Tik tok tik tok
It's already late,
Still haven't seen your shadows
or any noises you make

Tik tok tik tok
The air seems to be so cold
Now I can hear something breaking,
And a familiar tearing sound.

The sound of a heart that hoped

Tik tok

My name it's seems you have forgot

Tik tok

With time The love we had disappeared seems a new love you 've got

Tik tok

"Time heals all wounds apparently"
But if I tell you the truth you might be shocked....

Tik tok
Because of you my heart has turned to rock

Tik tok
With you in cages my demons were locked

Tik tok
Then you left Now their free to run amok


Tik tok.....

Someone please stop the ******* clock.

Age
Tik tok, tik tok
A clock counts down the days,
A mirror shows the wrinkles,
& the memories nearly fade.
Tik tok, tik tok
A pill shuts away the pain,
A doctor says a little longer,
& the grandkids keep away.
Tik tok, tik tok
A perfect life awaits,
A world forgetting ages,
& every worry dissipates.
Today marks a new age for me
Cordero wade Feb 2014
Tik Tok, Tik Tok, no more time to talk, clear all the ways of your walk.
Your footsteps I cannot follow, so these words I will just swallow, to be deemed useless and heard no more.
Tick tock, tick tock, time is growing still, around us no more chill, except for that which lies cold and the heartbeat. No comfort, no seat, no rest for my feet.
Inside doesn't like dry in this has overtaken my very function bitterness becomes my friend in what looks like the end as my mind spending spends this bitterness turns to sin.
Tick tock, tick tock, now that I am like the world sick, sad, and greedy, how do I look now? Are you satisfied with my iniquity, outward worldly vocabulary, do you have what you need to judge me properly.
I bet you do. ( This is a poem that I wrote before I accepted Christ.)
Tik tok tik tok tok....clocks grinding each numbers crawling thin pale clocks of minds . Waiting watching listening back of the door lock within within this wreak dry lifeless time.....time...is endless just slowly kills the youth within the flesh at times.

I've been trying to write stories
then my mind wanders into fantasies
I could not find a perfect subject
so I looked everywhere for an object

But still..

Another writer's block
tik tok tik tok said the clock
write a line, write a line
and find a rhyme, find a rhyme
Oh! I found a dime, I found a dime!
Lets buy some wine!

tik tok tik tok said the clock

Delete the first two verses
Because it was all nonsense
Please give me a concept!
In return I will try to write you a sonnet
Said, I WILL TRY to write you a sonnet

tik tok tik tok said the clock

I am running out of time
I am running out of lines
Sorry for the rumbling
I really am struggling
Couldn't find a perfect subject
So my papers here are wrecked
Haven't written anything good since the past few weeks. Ughh.

Tik-tok
make a move
don't drop.
Fast track
click clack
run the race
wuz up
holler back

Don't cry
say goodbye
life is short
to retort.
No demands
or make commands
just live
and forgive.
Love, play,
worship, pray

eat, sleep,
drop a beat
write, read,
no greed
fight fare,
time to share.
Learn grow,
centre stage,
front row.
No regrets -
stop the show.

No pain
time to heal
soft touch
time to feel.
open eyes
to the soul
some things
gotta go
Just dance again
in the rain
and feel the rhythm

So tik-tok
don't stop
make a move
don't drop
I wrote this with as a potential song lyrics. Preferably something catchy and up-beat.  I do not write music or notes, however.  The first verse could be the chorus.

Footsteps heard
countless passersby had gone
slowly being agitated

Tik-Tok...

Head swiftly turned right
is the world spinning?
gazed left

Tik-Tok...


Nothing...
Nothing's happening
agitation rising

Tik-Tok...

Clock continuously ticking
wind blowing
When will I be saved?

Tik-Tok...

I'm surrounded by people,
but I'm alone.

Sitting there
Thinking about life

Ding **** ding ****
The church bells ring
Letting the hours be known

Boom boom boom boom

Look around take a minute to see
The sounds that are in our earth
No one seems to listen

Tik tok tik tok
In hell i sit staring at a clock
Chained to the floor by 2 ton rocks

In this hell i am in there is a clock
An ordinary grandfather clock
In this realm of darkness the only thing i hear is it tiks and toks
My retribution for my sins
Thousands of years will pass
The world will end
And i will still be here
tik

Tik
Tok
Death was to kind a punishment
I sit here in complete darkness accompanied by only this clock
I cannot even hear my own screams
I plead
Plead
Plead
But no one will ever hear me
Satan himself grew tired of tormenting me throughout the years
I sit here unable to rot
Unable to die
Please someone
SOMEONE
SOMEONE PLEASE
I WANT TO DIE
ALLOW ME TO DIE
THE CLOCK

TIK TOK

I CANT TAKE IT
HELL, THIS IS HELL

I CANT DIE
IVE TRIED
I DONT NEED TO BREATHE
I DONT NEED TO EAT

A DEMON SUCH AS MYSELF HAS NO HOPE OF FREEDOM
I AM ETERNALLY ******

Ticking that will never stop

Round and round without end
Tick tok goes the clock
When will the ticking stop
Tick tok stops the clock
Ooops, theres no one left

The modest shop with a crackling fire
Lighting the glazed wood of the clocks
Tik tok, tik tok, midnight strikes the oldest
The grandfather clock, tall and broad
Looks upon the the young and new
That tik and tok without a squeak of rust
Yet, the grandfather clock is the wisest
The brass pendulum swaying
Tik tok, tik tok, the hourglass spills its sand
And yet, it will run out.
But the grandfather clock, the wisest, the oldest
Will never run out of wisdom.

Honor is hard to compare to the war flavored twists,

Moving forward

A step closer to the grave
Tic Tok
Drip drop
The dark is coming

Tik
a second passes
Tok
another one gone
Tik
each one her fists clenched harder
Tok
eyes squinted ready to strike
Tik Tok Tik Tok Tik Tok
she sat
as a bomb
waiting to go off
each blink,
each bitten nail,
each pencil tap,
each thought,
brought us all closer
to the explosion

waiting to turn her world upside down
as she often did when life stomped all over her
or simply when she got bored of the usual
waiting to turn everyone's world upside down

because when she went through that door
she new just what she was going to do
her victim, clueless
the filmer, ruthless
the people, not expecting this
her, heartless

so then it happened
she erupted
she did to her victim what she felt life did to her
and everyone felt the ripple
by the next hour everyone felt the feeling
the rush,
the shock,
some felt the despair,

it started as simply an odd day
but by the end
our whole world was dented
her,
she sat
recharging from,
thanking people who stood by her during,
relieved of the feelings from,

the fight.

Kaincha tok normal, ever sangle wunnaya?
Omina tellya diss. Nuthin lie kat is good.
Alla us oiz tok English good allatime
Ever day uhda world in mah neighborhood.

Us is sum, y’know, good tokken people.
Yeah, ain’t nobuddy speaks good lie cuss.
Lessen there from round here, ah mean.
We got eddycated good, no muss, no fuss.

We don’t need no college, no way Jose.
We gunna do jess lock are parents did.
We go to school every day till eitghteen
Jess lock dey did win dey was a kid.

Ever now and then, you can get ahold
Of sum buddy whose totally iggnent.
They stick there noses up in thuh air.
They think there better, sumthin differnt.

But really, it’s just a mute point, I mean
Irregardless of whut they bin sayin’
They jess turn stuff round 360 degrees.
It’s jess a nother word game there playin’.

Thuh important thang is to be understood
Not that thuh  people say everthang rite.
The important stuff to tok about is
To know whut is wrong and whut is rite.

I sit here looking at the clock,
While time passes with every tick - tok.
With every second I grow older, and start to die.
I just want to give up, I just want to cry.
That's why I sit here writing this letter,
Because after what I'm about to do...
Things will be somewhat better.
I go and get my friend out of it's hiding place,
And lock the door just in case.
I start drawing on my arm with my blade,
As my life slowly fades.
Images are racing.
My heart is pacing.
I start to drift into my endless sleep,
And I here a faint floor board creek.
There's banging at my door, and yelling of my name.
But I have to say, I feel no shame.
You are the reason I made myself do this,
You made my life a living hell "Oh Mommy dearest."
Tick - toc, tick- toc is all I hear,
As my life slowly disappears.
I wrote this a few years ago, when I hit a deep depression. I have since come out of it, but these poems are a sharp reminder, as well as my scars, as to what I went through.

My mother is no mother.
For some time there is laughter, a tangible happiness runs through the air.
Day to day and everything is ok.
As the laughter fades the days grows dark, because, my mother is no mother.
What was bubbly, sarcastic, and even fantastic! is now rude, ungrateful, and hateful.
My mother is no mother.
The time has come; she feels it at the very core of her being. An internal
clock, tic tok, tic tok, tic tok and stop!
Calm before the storm, we wait. What more is there to be done?
Its world war three for about the thousandth time. Down to the bunker, also known as our room,
we'll wait out the storm. Call in for back up; it’s going to be a long night. We can leave, but what
about the others? Decisions we shouldn’t have to make. Decisions deciding others fate.
For, my mother is no mother.
I’m sorry, it’s ok. I love you, I know.
The peace is weak, how many times can you sign the same treaty?
Force a smile....look some light creeps back in.
But still, my mother is no mother.
Tentative at first, but then more secure. We laugh, we sing, we run, and we yell.
Simply for the sake of a hiatus in hostilities.
Even if, my mother is no mother.  
Inside she knows she is lying. I'm sorry, are you? I love you, I don't care.
My mother is no mother.
How much more can I take?

Click! Click! Click!
A sound I hear when I choose a song
Plak! Plak! Plak!
A sound I hear when I write a poem
Tik! Tok! Tik! Tok!
A sound I hear when I think so long

All these happens, boredom I know

Point! Point! Point!
A thing I do when I choose a song
Press! Press! Press!
A thing I do when I write a poem
Gasp! Glare! Gasp! Glare!
A thing I do when I think so long

All these happens, and I do not know

Think! Think! Think!
Stop!
Look!
Listen!
I know!
You are reading one senseless poem!
A sound of cheerful Noise!

big Hand laying on top of the small hand straight up midnight.

water drip dropping in the kitchen sink like a dusty jackhammer
solving Chinese algebra in the Blazing noonday Sun

good bye baby so long girl.
you knew the drill off the top of
your head you knew  how to make me hurt....so good
I dreamt that dream again last night standing in the middle of the floor.the music was low the tempo real slow

just how we did a thousand times before  but this time, this time baby
they were just four walls ,the music playing  and the closing of the door.

tok, tok,
tok,
every drop,
shining red
our wine
to the floor.

me
trapped
skin heat
electric hair
ardent smell
    you
heartbeats
rapid.
legs
exhausted.
numb
my palms
tongue
****.
dripping sweat
cold
forehead.

you
a moment ago
between me.
you
******
my
universe.
it
exploded.
my mind was
taken away.
to where
you
cannot reach. it was
mine alone.
yes, you
are not
welcome
in it
here
me
any more.

now, go,
get the
****
out of
my
world.

tik tok tik,
times too long
works too many
love too less.

tik tok tik,
its already two thirty
a few more hours
you'll soon be free.

tik tok tik,
Did the clock stopped ticking?
Times taking so long,
I'm stressed, bored.

Tik toc tik toc tik!!!
common hurry!
I miss my bed.

Tik toc tik,
time check its two thirty eight.
Tik toc tik,
times too long.

— The End —
