It's ticking,
Make it stop,
How is time still going on?
How does the world keep on spinning now that she is gone?
She was my child, my life, my friend
This isn't a break that a plaster can mend.
The clock keeps on ticking,
I can't take it any more,
I don't know how to make it stop,
Let me walk out of the door,
Into the street and onto the road,
Isn't this the street where he showed
Her how to ride a bike,
And how to drive a car?
Where he shouted at her for going to that bar?
An orange glow fills the path,
I cannot suppress my gleeful laugh,
I hit my head on the concrete floor,
At least the clock isn't ticking any more.
