ALONE

tick tock tick tock tick tock
tick

the ticking. . .

madness

the tocking. . .

madness

auditory delusions

confusing

resembling your footsteps

on the stairs

the screeching lub dub

of my heart

beating

then yet

beating again

a blackboard with fingernails

alone

and still,  yet

alone

hours spilling

through skeleton hands

drop by drop

by drop

parasitic memories

in tow

draining or freeing

constant ticking

thinking

spilling

noises

more noises

surrounding

yet anemic remaining

alone
