I find peace in the night
Hearing the sound of the clock
Sitting alone in the candlelight
Letting my thoughts race around in my head
Thinking about the sound of seconds in time
Forgetting most of the things I said
Telling myself that I am fine….
Minutes turn into days
Days turn into years
Tick tock sounds the clock
Tick tock… echo’s the sound of my fears
Power in each word

the deafening roars
of loneliness,
echoes fear.

tick tock, tic tock.
