Stop

Stop

Time needs to

Stop.

I pop

a pill

so the clock will

Stop.


On top

a roof,

they try to

rob

me of the

Stop.


I sob,

I need to

lob

myself

from on top.


“Stop!” they yell.

But the clock

won’t stop.


The clock won't

stop.

The clock won't

stop.

I need the clock to

stop

On top the roof.

A way to

stop.


A way to

stop.

A way to stop.

The ticking clock

needs to stop.


Please don't

drop.

Please don't drop.

They scream my name.

A quiet nod.


I break the chain

I walk away


An empty spot.

A broken clock.

The ticking ... stops.
