Stop that ticking
Never skipping
A single beat
All these years
Drumming in my ears
Thump, thump, thump
Stop, I have had enough
Tired of your persistent
Noisy existence
Tired of your incessant beating to some
Cannibal rhythm
Stop the ticking
Stop the thumping
Stop, I’ve had enough
Let me rest
Sleep in silence
Free of your
Bullying
Boisterous pace.
