Time for Madness

Tick tick tick
All night long
The sound of the frigging clock
Driving me farther and farther into insanity
Watching the moon watching me
Tick tick tick
Time turning into a thick viscous fluid
Pouring over me like blood
Running down my face and over my body
Making me twitch, an uncontrollable twitch
So much time, passing in front of my eyes
Running from my hair like rain water
Dirty smelly rain
Ruining my life, so much time
Passing
Tick tick tick
Time oozing, surging, trickling
Leaving behind its ugly stains
Its ugly scars
Tick tick tick
Its ugly trail
Tick
Tick
tick

Sue to write this, you had to feel it. It not only shouts out the hurt and pain, it blasts it out to the universe. This is someting inside of you that is dealt with; whether you like it or not. You need to get past this ... the hurting is too deep to bear. Hugs ...
