Tick tock
She smiled
Tick tock
He smiled
Tick tock
She leaned in
Tick
But then she noticed
His tired eyes
Tock.
He flinched
Tick tock
She raised his sleeve
Tick tock tick tock
His heartbeat raised
She saw the bruises
From last night
Let the bell chime
Because that man?
That man is a boy
With bruises trailing all over his body
Caused by his family
That night
He was sent away
Away from his love.
She realized why he never told
He wanted to stay
To protect her from depression
Because she now weeps
In the bathroom
One day
She fumbled for her -
Tick tock.
He came
He finally came
Tick tock
In time to see her eyes go out
And see the broken hearts
Carved all over
The broken doll
Tick tock.
Baby baby
I love you
And it seems like I can't tell you that anymore...
