tick tock upon the hour clock,

time stands still, then fades away,

the floor beneath now ashes at my feet,

yet I don’t fall through, I remain…..

tick tock upon the hour clock

the air around seems thick and dull,

my breath hitches as I dissapear into the wall,

yet I don’t fuse, I remain…..

tick tock upon the hour clock

my shadow drags me along a jagged rock,

my feet tangle in a knot, anguish in my heart,

Yet I don’t give up, I remain……

tick tock upon the hour clock

tears are ripped from the windows of my soul,

courage bubbles through my veins as I refuse to go,

Yet I long to follow into the beyond, I remain…..

tick tock upon the hour clock

time stands still, then moves again,

the floor beneath not quite solid yet,

but I remain…. through memory I remain

It can be no other way because love allows me to remain……..
