Tick-Tack-Toe

And time won’t pass

I can hear it –

slowly,

the tick-tack-toe

Counting every second

minute and hour

just to be with you

And time wouldn’t fly

Mocking me

Scorning me

For all that I didn’t do –

slowly,

would the tick-tack-toe go

And I could cry out your name

In vain

And I would gaze into the moon

O so bright and full

And I would feel it too –

slowly,

like that same tick-tack-toe

Growing

Begging

Pleading to come out

A single tear came around –

slowly,

running,

like that tick-tack-toe.
