Tick Tock,

White light rests on my face,

 a light hum plays in the distance

my are is gifted with a sting

How much is left?

 

Tick Tock,

 I begin to feel restless,

 as kindly faces crowd into view,

sweet voices comfort me

How much is left?

 

Tick Tock

As young voices join the crowd,

sadness laid upon each face

calling out for a father to hold them dear

How much is left.

 

Tick Tock

The humming begins to fade,

drowned out by tears,

taken away by light

There is no time left,

tick…tock,

tick…tock.
