Emotion... Sadness

Tick... Tick... Tick...

I hear the infamous click...

Of a clock that does not exist...

So what am I hearing?

Am I fearing?

Why am I suddenly tearing?

The tick, tick, tick, lingers in the back.

As the water from my eyes makes my skin begin to crack.

And my shaking hands reach for the closest objects to smack, smack, smack!

I'm dehydrated, sore, and so sleepy...

The tick, tick, tick comes back to me...

As I stare at nothing with eyes so drowsy...

Tick... Tick... Tick...
