Tick tock, tick tock,
The moon is out,
The stars are bright,
I lay in bed,
Thinking of you.
My heart is sore,
My mind is weak.
I can feel you slipping away.
We were close once,
Entangled:
Our hands,
Our bodies,
Our emotions.
But then I snipped the string,
That once tied us together,
And now here we stand,
Apart.
Tick tock, tick tock,
The moon is high,
The stars still bright,
And I’m still here,
In bed,
Thinking of you.
