The Clock's Captivity
The Clock's Captivity



In the pre-dawn hours
of a cloudness night,
the ticking clock
sounds like a drum.

It is the heartbeat
of a sleeping world,
and its steady pulse
remains constant.

With each tick that sounds,
time bleeds
into a wasted pool
that squishes
around my feet.

As the silent moments pass,
the clock grows louder,
scolding me for not following the
whims of its master.

The clock is the voice of Time mocking me
as it matches the rhythm of my heart.
It’s open face
shows innocence and goodwill
while it whispers poison
in my ear.

Time is a harsh master.
Even the clock must obey.
