Tick tock, tick tock
Go by hours on the dreaded clock
Smiling through rivers of tears,
All her makeup she smears.
Laughing off her sorrow and pain
Because what would she ever gain.
Loneliness was addictive,
Feeling nothing close to submissive.
Just her demons and shadows
Ghosts beckoning from far, abandoned gallows.
Sitting with a broken heart,
Turning to silver and skin for art.
Expressing everything she could feel
Nothing ever felt so real.
Raising her head to the sky
She let out a soul wrecking cry.
The stars twinkling
Her blood glistening;
Would someone save her?
Snatch the tools away from her
Or would she be left on her own,
Turning to ice and stone.
Maybe there was hope for better days to come
But in this moment she felt there would be none.
