And the Clock goes Tick

Time goes by

Tick after Tick after Tick.

A second wasted, then two, then three

Tick, Tick, Tick.

.

Have you ever really pondered

Or gave life a real thought?

Nothing lasts forever

Your life cannot be bought.

.

The date and time have been decided

But that remains unknown.

Don't be afriad to aim for the sky

Close your eyes, nothing prolong.

.

I hear the door slowly opening

Creek after Creek after Creek.

Death slowly approaches

Creek, Creek, Creek.

.

Nothing lasts forever

Everything lives to see decay.

So don't overlook anything

For today could be your day.

.

Don't live your life in the shadows

For you may never see a star's light.

Don't ever back down

If it doesn't feel right, just hold on tight. 

. 

I hear your heartbeat

Thump after Thump after Thump.

And the next second silence, it stops

..., ..., ..., .

.

Emotions overwhelm you

So many thoughts rushed to your head.

All you can seem to think about

Were words left unsaid.

.

You didn't see death coming

It took you by surprise.

But life keeps on going

For tomorrow the sun will rise.

.

I hear the funeral bells.

Bell after Bell after Bell.

 A life not lived to the fullest

Bells, Bells, Bells.

.

Tears are shed

But the moon doesn't fall.

Time stops for no one

For no one at all.

.

They say that when you die

Your life flashes before your eyes.

Is it going to be worth watching

That you must decide.

.

Time goes by

Tick after Tick after Tick.

A second wasted, then two, then three

Tick, Tick Tick...

.

Author's Notes: I really want an honest opinion about this poem. This is probably the longest time that it's taken me to write a single poem. I do really think this has some potential and please feel free to be honest and point things out. Also this poem was sort of inspired by the poem Bells by Edgar Allen Poe. (Also this poem is meant to have stanzas but it just doesn't save that way for some reason.)
