Each tick of the clock ticks quick,
Leaving me
Trying to make the moments last,
That should have long since slipped away
Trying to stall what will soon be the past
From knocking on my door any coming day
For all the years we’ve cared
Our time together has dwindled
For all the time we’ve shared
I still feel our time was swindled
Each tick of the clock ticks quick,
Leaving me feeling haunted
Within every inch of my soul
With a strength I can’t believe,
I stand here in total control
As I’m watching you leave.
Good-bye does not mean forever,
Or so we tell ourselves so,
But it’s going to be a long time
Before we can smile and say hello.
Each tick of the clock ticks quick,
Leaving me with what I thought I wanted
We’re adults, we made the decision,
At least as far as I can tell.
So why am I unhappy with this division?
When being together was such hell
Surprised I have tears left to cry
For something once never conceived of.
Never thought I’d be saying good-bye.
To someone I still love
Each tick of the clock ticks quick,
Leaving me

“Good-bye does not mean forever,
Or so we tell ourselves so,
But it’s going to be a long time
Before we can smile and say hello.”
Man, this poem hits right between the eyes … going through something similar…. this is a beautiful emotive write…. Definitely feeling this right now…
Quite a vivid take on the prequel to loneliness. Very well written…
Each tick of the clock ticks quick,
Leaving me with what I thought I wanted
are the lines that hit me the most…we make decisions on limited information…on what we think we want and then have to live with the consequences….not an easy life for sure…
Lovely and sad poem.
