And Time Carries on

89 10 4
                                    

The clock ticks and tocks, 

The monitor beeps,

As I shout for you not to sleep.


Your voice is quiet and hoarse,

Your eyes are blinking rapidly,

Your hand maintains a firm grip on mine.


Suddenly, your eyes close,

I shout even louder for you to wake up.

But it's too late.

The monitor goes flat but,

The clock still ticks and tocks,

Letting me wonder what would've if happened,

If I didn't let time carry on like this.
