A steady

               Tick tock

                              of a clock,

                                              Burning into your brain.

Time is a fire,

                           Burns what you love,

         Before you know it's gone.

Ashes stain your hands

                     Crying on your knees

     But don't worry darling,

                                              Soon you won't be.

One blink,

                   And it all disappears.

Two blinks,

                   And I was never here.
