Left in the Dust

By Lilit Poghosyan

 

Down the ticking clock

Observed by many eyes

Numerous bodies down the 12 stars

Washed by the hours of the ticking bomb

 

Clock, clock, clock, oh my ticking clock.

 

Elope me with your relativity, clock

Embrace me with your hope, bomb

Put the bodies in the coffin, clock

Show me your blasting agility, bomb

 

Clock, clock, clock, oh my ticking clock.

 

Stop now to rest; take my life, clock

Take it and relive your life bomb

 

I’m not a prodigy, clock

But let me get lost

Let me feel your pulse

Let me curse you out of spite

Just for etching perpetual scars

 

Clock, clock, clock, oh my ticking clock.

 

When I take this stick out of me

With my blood oozing down the blade

They will look at you for the very last time

To distinguish my end from the present days

 

Clock, clock, clock, under the ticking bomb.

 

I hear you hammering the nails on the wood.

I feel you leaking through the vessels of the moon

Pressing tighter and tighter the time of the youth

I’m just a second in your stardust. Boom!

 

Clock, clock, clock, oh my ticking bomb.

 

Oh clock, with every 12 step I take a breath

I’m in awe of the clock

 

Boom! I scream… I cry… I die

Tick… I suffocate… tock…. I’m empty. I’m down

And there are bodies down your 12 stars

Laid down under your relativity, clock

 

Life up lifeless

Death under lives

I love you, clock

But you need to calm down
