Ticking.
The sound of a clock.
It wavers me so.
Ticking.
The sound of waiting,
Hoping,
Fearing,
Ticking.
The sound of a clock.
It wavers me so.
Ticking.
The sound of ending,
Holding on,
Letting go.
Ticking.
The sound of a clock.
It wavers me so.
Ticking.
The sound of regret,
Watching,
Remorse.
Ticking.
The sound of a clock.
It no longer wavers me so.
I have hoped.
I have feared.
I have waited.
I have held on.
I have let go.
I have felt remorse.
I have felt regret.
But I do not regret,
Watching and hearing,
The clock go tick-tock.
