Lockwood and co shorts

Sneaky sneaky Lockwood

I knew what I was doing was wrong but part of me couldn't stop. Lucy and me had gotten home from a case twenty minutes ago and we say down to have some tea. When we finished she said she was going to hit the sack. As she climbed the stairs I noticed her satchel lying on the table.

I looked around first before opening the clasps. This was so wrong of me but I couldn't stop myself.

There was you basic every day needs in there.
Chap stick
Tissues
A small book
Tampo-

What was this book? I took it out and examined it. It was brown and worn down from age. I opened it and began reading.

It was a poetry book. And the things written in it were stunning.

I began reading the first one, it was named Tick Tock.

Tick tock...tick tock...
life is counting down on your internal clock.

Memories which were as if they occurred yesterday,
turn to flashes of moments that seem to fade away.

People you once knew
walk by without a clue.

The times you once shared
exist as if you were never there.

Years fly...friends die...
and you never know when you'll say your last goodbye.

Oh, how I wish I could turn back time,
spend it with loved ones and cherish what was once mine.

Or to go back even more,
being a kid in a candy store.

How I miss the way I used to feel
on Christmas day when Santa was real.

But back to reality...back to today,
family is scarce and memories continue to fade away.

Tick tock...tick tock...
how I wish I could control this clock

It was dated three days after Lucy was hired. This must have been towards her old team.

I kept reading.

Wind whistling,
Snow glistening,
We try not to,
But we're all listening.

Loud screams,
Bad dreams,
It's very far,
But close it seems.

Sad day,
Lost our way,
All we can do,
Is simply pray.

Innocence gone,
Life no longer long,
We may not know,
But we're all doing wrong.

Joy lost,
The Holocaust,
We look to see,
Hearts covered in frost.

Wars fought,
Sins taught,
Making mistakes,
Hoping not to be caught.

Not taking blame,
Pushing for fame,
As advanced as we are,
We're still all untamed.
