Ticking

I'm scared.
I'm so scared.

I just need a moment,
For time to stand still...

But tick, tick, tick,
There it goes.

Time waits for no one,
There's no time to prepare.
A year flies by,
Before you even know it.

Tick. Tick. Tick.

Can you please just stop!
Just for a moment!

Can't you see I'm terrified of the
Ticking

The unending movement of time.
All that is the unknown.

That Ticking it pulls me away from a painful past.
But who's to say it doesn't pull me towards a painful future.

One moment it's comforting,
And the next that tick, tick, tick,
Begins to sound like a death march
The tones leading me to my end,
The end.

Please stop.

Just for a moment.

Even if I can't go back.

Please.
