Nuclear Stamp

by SoUrNameIsTia   Nov 25, 2008


Tick,
Tock,
Tick,
Tock,
shades drawn closed,
body huddled.

Tick Tick,
Tock Tock,
keep a tight lip,
don't let those tears hit the floor.

In a matter of time,
by the choices of others,
for doomed and for destined,
life was stamped onto a nuclear clock.

Tick...Tock,
Tick...To--
.....could one ever think the effect?

    I love it. It's so abstract. :) As for what it's about....could be a nuclear bomb (but nah...lol) or about someone who's lying in hospital knowing that they're going to die in a few days, or a funeral, or something that happened because someone was too late to help.
    I also have a feeling it's none of those, haha.

    This is tricky indeed...
    I know it involves time, and something about us, but the true meaning remains unseeing...
