the world deteriorates at a mile a minute.
tick tock
another person gone.
tick tock
another person infected,
tick tock,
and we’ll disappear too.
and not a day goes by where i don’t think of this.
and not a day goes by where you shouldn’t.
there is nothing you can do to save us,
i promise,
you couldn’t.
and after i stop staring at this clock
after it stops our conversation.
tick tock.
AND IT BEGINS SCREAMING AT ME TICK TOCK.
