Time Tics By
Tic Toc Tic
Staring, sobbing in Silence…
Tic, Toc, Tic
Memories
Imaginary Constructs
All in my mind
Made up?
I don’t know.
Your hand presses against my chest,
Pushing me steadily back
Lips entwined
Tic, Toc, Tic
My eyes peel open
We haven’t spoken in years
Ring, Ring, Ring…
“Hello”
Tic, Toc, Tic
“But how is she dead?!”
My lungs scream into the void
Shocked, like a volt of lightning
The hurt isn’t immediate
It comes in waves
Over and over again
The second always more agonizing than the first
Tic, Toc, Tic
Reminders of you,
A snow cone stand,
A Decorated Compass,
Lana Del Rey ...
They lied.
Time doesn’t heal.
The pain remains
Tic, toc, tic
1-year passes
My heart remains broken
Time is coming to an end
Tic Toc Tic
Your laughter,
Your sweet face,
We meet again,
In a land unlike the world,
We both once knew.
Rest in Peace Elizabeth
