tick-tock, time won't stop

my eyes drift to the clock,
minutes pass by, tick-tock,
fear engulfs my being,
i'm losing time, i don't want to be seen.

i want to run to you,
but something's stopping me,
i look below, pieces of glass there are,
my feet are now bleeding.

with all my will, i try to walk,
in my ears i hear echoes, tick-tock,
i think to myself, now's not the time to stop.

i need you, but do you need me too?
the question resides in my mind,
spreading like slow poison,
now it hits me, what am i trying to find?

love that i could never receive?
the thought of never being enough?
the pain seeps through and now i see,
i was gone for you, you weren't for me.
