Once upon a time,

Tick, Tock.

Tick, Tock.

The clock chimes my life away.

Ding, Dong.

Ding, Dong.

The bell tolls to show the way.

Pit, Pat.

Pit, Pat.

My footsteps echo eerily.

Nod, Nod.

Blink, Blink.

My eyes flutter wearily.

Swish, Swish.

Whoosh, Whoosh.

The water ripples endlessly.

Come here.

Stay there.

The voices call relentlessly.

Creak, Creak.

Groan, Groan.

The boat tips precariously.

Tick, Tock.

The clock stops.

Sob, Cry.

Who was I

To end my life so carelessly?
