Far away,

Are my thoughts,

They’re on the ticking,

Of the clocks,

Every second, there are,

Ticks, or there are tocks.

Time is passing,

With each one,

And though my life,

Has just begun,

I know that it,

Will soon be done.

I just cannot,

Stop my tears,

Someone please,

Protect me from my fears,

Death is darkness,

That never clears.

I am afraid,

I admit that it’s true,

I need to get over it,

But I can’t, not without you,

Please just soothe me,

It’s all you can do.
