I can hear the tick

I can hear the tock

The time is barely passing by

On that crusty old clock

I can almost hear the machines

Beating with his heart

I can just imagine him on that table

As they take his head apart

I'm sitting here in this room

On a chair, waiting

There's nothing much to do

So I'm just anticipating

What's yet to come

I do not know

But the time is just going

Ever so slow

I can imagine the drilling

So close to his brain

A single mistake

And he becomes inhumane

The doctor is approaching me

About what I do not know

His back is hunched over

And he reminds me of a crow

He calls me over

Tears flooding his eyes

As he tries to comfort me

And muffle my cries

I'm feeling nothing but numbness

It just feels so surreal

After seeing his lifeless body

I can barely deal

The only person I loved in my life

Taken away from me, gone

But that's just life I suppose

It goes on
