Tick
tick
tick
if enough time passes it will
break the skin.
smooth strokes will never work
clocks are ragged they bite
and gnaw.
chew me up chew me up give me
jewlery i can wear for
years.
let me sleep
oh let me sleep soundly without
TICK
TICK
TICK
licking my eardrums
such scandal.
don't stop don't stop
god please please stop
i'll kick your face in
but look
