The Clock ticking
Slowly time slithers like a snake
In waiting for the prey
Silences all around you can you
Hear the silent screams?
She screams
To be heard from the depths
Of her soul
Come closer
Under her mask
You can see the
One tear trickling down
Her face
Begging for mercy
Hearts beat pounding
But only silence
Hears her
She watches the clock
Ticking above
It’s leery
Smile knowing it
Controls her present
Her past
Future
