we’re born thirsty
yearning for love
the love of a mother
pure and genuine
growing, growing…
tic toc
childhood play
summer fun
joyous laughter
under the sun
innocent love…
tic toc, tic toc
adolescence
young, strong, and fearless
pretty girl, handsome boy—
kissing…
tic toc, tic toc, tic toc
falling in love
hearts skipping
everyday, delightful is life—
until death to us part…
tic toc
love
raising our spirits high
kings, queens we become
battling to resist love’s slayer…
tic toc, tic toc
love
no longer easy,
we’re growing apart
struggling, resisting, the pull of the abyss…
tic toc, tic toc, tic toc
heroes, heroines
we must become
man, woman
together as one
in battle, side by side
deconstructing the concept of time—
shattering the clock!!
