tick tick tick
she sits in silence
the only sound
tick tick tick

she was busy
not thinking of anything else

tick tick ticking
keeping her company
the irony of that
tick tick tick

all she wants
is to turn it back, to
un tick tick tick

but she is alone now
with the same noise that
tick tick ticked away
all the years before

tick tick ....
everything stopped
there will be no more
clock
