count the clock

One tick

Two tocks

I lost count

Breathe in

Push out

Exhale

Tap

Tap

Tap

I'm distracted

Exhausted

Mind gone

withdrawn?

You think it's fun to read

Imagine what I see

Bloodshot eyes

Stormy cries

I could hear a clock ticking in my head as I read this, which is cool. :D I really liked how you put this together, because the way it sounded in my head was spectacular. Keep it up!

Ah, those never ending nights with a million thoughts. Great flow and style to this. So much said in so few words.
