Shades Of Gray

And the clock keeps ticking,
Ticking away,
With empty promises,
Each breath becoming more labored,
Ones who talk of addiction know nothing of this,
This longing,
I cant hear your voice in my head,
It frightens me,

And time keeps ticking away,
Each soft click,
Reminding me of your painful absence,
Wanting to hear your whispers brush my ears,
Smirking,
With your childish arrogance all your own,

Want to-,
Need to hear you promise,
Time wont slip away from us,
Wont take it for granted,
No,
Not again,

Because the shortly ending ticking,
Fades into deliberate,
Beautiful shades of gray,
When im with you,
Cant lose you,
Or maybe I just need to prepare,

All good things end,
All life ends in death,
But the clock never,
Fucking
Stops
Ticking
