Tick Tock

Tick...tock...
goes the clock,
Tick...tock...
it soon will stop.

Tick... Death comes today.
Like a moth to a flame,
you can't get away.

Tock... The clock hits noon.
don't rush, She'll be here soon.
It's such a lovely day,
enjoy it while you can.
Poor soul, you don't even know,
Death already has you in her hand.

Tick...tock... The clock is at two.
Have you done all that you have wanted to?
Have you lived everyday like it was today?
do you already feel your life slipping away?

Tick...Tock... The hands call four.
How many hours more?
You are running out of time.
I'd make the rest worth it if this life were mine.

Death doesn't bargain, not even one extra breath.
How much time do you have left?
Can you truly go without regret?
Do you worry that the others will someday forget?
She's coming, do you feel her yet?

Tick...Tock the clock strikes five...
only a little bit longer to be alive.
Do you worry about the Afterlife?
Was resisting "GOD" really right?
Did you give up your soul without a fight?

Tick...Tock...the clock beats eight.
she's almost here, she won't be late.
You just had your final kiss...
At least you'll be missed.
Savor their touch, you won't get another chance,
don't take it for granted, for it is the last.

Did you think it would be like this?
Did you savor your lovers' final kiss?
Did you find life's simple meaning?
Do you feel any pain for leaving?

It's almost funny how easy it seems...
This life you so routinely led each day,
now that it has been stripped away,
you can clearly see the important things.

Did you even reach for your dreams?
It's too late now, you can't go back.
You should have done what you longed to
while you still had the chance.

Tick...Tock... the clock chimes nine...
You're out of time.
