Vu. Vu. - Clocks

A discreet quaver
Of daunting strain
An astonishing flicker
Of tragic mundane

A vehement assault
Of caustic clocks
Tests my faith
And my patience mocks

Every emotionless pulse
Cheats me of life
Like the chilling palpation
Of a stabbing knife

It pierces my heart
And lacerates my mind

Tick, tick
It makes me sick

Vu. Vu.
