Tick Tock

Tick tock
Time is slipping away.
Every night I try to sleep
But dreams of you keep me awake.
Hours pass by
Until the sun rises in the sky.

Tick tock.
And the time keeps disappearing each day.
A new morning arises.
Your nightly memories fade.
Wasted restless nights
Turn into endless internal fights.

Tick tock.
Time will never come back.
But we try and try to convince it to stay,
Because the past tasted sweeter with your breath on my skin.
Fateful moments stay with us;
As vivid as the bleeding cuts.

Tick tock.
Grains of sand are filling the glass.
The clock keeps ticking
Until it’s time to fall asleep.
Darkness loses its haunting shade
As I realise that every passed moment is a choice I joyfully made.
