The Heart Stops

Loves Scars

By Tamia BoykinPublished 9 years ago 1 min read

Time seems to trickle away

Slaving day by day

Listening to the sounds of the voices in my head pounding away

Like thunder the drums boom in my ear

Telling me to let go of what's near

Fear grows with each ticking tock

Never knowing what I might say that will have you knocked off your rock

One day the voices will stop, that day will also be the day your beating heart stops

That day my blessings will become unlocked pouring into my glass overflowing

One day I shall not be fooled, just like us, our love is left unknowing
