Can't Stop

by Heather   Jan 20, 2012


Oh that beautiful disaster of how you let me go
Oh how I sit here and how the tears flow
Ready? Set. Go!
Oh how the tears will flow.

Plip.Plop.Can't.Stop
Tick.Tock.Can't.Stop
Back 'n Forth Can't.Stop
The dam has overflowed

The drops on the paper make it hard to see the words
The ink runs slowly down. Like my vision, thoughts are blurred.

Tick.Tock.Can't.Stop
Back 'n Forth Can't.Stop
Plip.Plop.Can't.Stop
The dam has overflowed

I hate the clock how I hate you. I stare off in the distance
Can't stop anything, Can't change anything, I question my existence.

Back 'n Forth Can't.Stop
Plip.Plop.Can't.Stop
Tick.Tock.Can't.Stop
The dam has overflowed

Lying on the bed. Alone and so confused
Curled up like a baby. Battered, beat, and bruised

Plip.Plop.Can't.Stop
Tick.Tock.Can't.Stop
Back 'n Forth Can't.Stop
Done.

    I like this i can feel the pain in it and the way you have those three lines you repeat but change the order to match what you wrote is brilliant
