The Clock Ticks Loudly
I'm in my house, I'm all alone.
No one else is near.
The clock ticks loudly. Stop it please.
I don't want to hear.
Every sound is now magnified
Every fear is too.
All my senses are on alert
Waiting to hear you.
Was that a footstep that I heard?
Is it you at last?
Or was it just a little ghost
Of a love long passed?
Nervously I unbraid my hair
Then braid it once more
Now I begin to pace around
On my hard wood floor.
He should be here by now I'm sure
Where ever is he?
I can't stand being alone like this.
There! I heard the key.
