Literature Text

when your life is silent
listen to the sound
of the clock

tick tock

you are surrounded
by pieces
and expected to repair
the dying clock
makes fluttering noises
like an exhilarated heart

tick tock

darling even if
you changed my bodyparts
with clockwork
so I could live beyond eternity
what's the point
if no one's there
to wind me up?

tick tock

cogs and gears everywhere
remember that life
isn't measured in seconds

tick tock

you were always great
at fixing things
but you can't repair
the human brain
My English isn't perfect, but I still hope you can enjoy~
