Tick, Tock

Tock, tock - tick, tock...

the time goes by so slow;

I watch the clock.

*

An annoying knock

and its creepy echo...

tick, tock - tick, tock.

*

Lying here in shock,

letting paranoia grow...

I watch the clock.

*

The light I block

as morning starts to glow;

tick, tock - tick, tock.

*

Eyes open, locked -

I'm exhausted although

I watch the clock.

*

Another night I mock,

the moon is now below -

tick, tock - tick, tock;

I watch the clock.
