Everything is straight
Captured between the second.
Before the tick,
After the tock.
Everything perfectly reckoned.
All smiles set,
Posture straight and pristine.
Before the tick,
After the tock
All quarrels unseen.
The eyes are the key,
The whites red, light gone?
Before the tick,
After the tock.
The falseness goes on and on.
The lines in the face,
Contorted to a smile.
Before the tick,
After the tock.
If only you'd stayed a while.
Turn back the hands of time.
To when no one grinned.
Before the tick,
After the tock.
It was the truth that was pinned.
This image in colour,
Not in black and white.
Before the tick,
After the tock,
To be forgotten over time.
Tell me what ya think. Vote and comment.
