Tick Talk

The clock 

Is winding down

'Later'

'Not yet'

'Tomorrow'

Well-intentioned 

Except 

Tomorrow never arrives

And yet is yet to come

Later soon becomes never 

This procrastination

Stalls time

Until it ceases completely 

Just be careful

Of this heart

If it stops

It cannot be wound

To start again
