tik tok goes the clock
thump thump, my heart mocks

can you feel it? they whispered.
taste the love, right at your fingertips...
lovely, yet poisonous
can you hear hear it? they shuddered.
the sound of your heart b r e a k i n g, right at our feet...

your heart is weak,
they belong to the meek, they girated.

weak! weak! the chanting grew louder.
Why did he leave? I'd ponder.
can you feel it? they laughed.
that's the sound of your heart s h a t t e r i n g.

tik tok, the clock stops,
crash!, splash!, goes my heart as
silently it drops.
