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.
