Ticking Heart

Being with you is what makes the gears turn

This heart fully of wheels and cogs

Only feels whole with you

But time apart makes it creak and break

Cobwebs start to form and the inner workings just....

Freeze


They only start up at the sound of your voice

Before then they slowly stop

The ticking I used to hate

Becomes silent

I long for it again

The ticking of my heart


I want you here with me

Rather then across the sea from me

Where I can't be held in your arms

And I can't hear the ticking of your own clockwork heart
