Tick-tock Mock
by Christel CrewsA broken clock hangs by a nail
Mocking those who look to it
Searching for proof of the passage of time
All the while, time stands still as you wait
Wait
Wait
For an answer, for a reason
Why you are in this God-forsaken place
Losing track of days, hours, minutes
The sun sets and rises yet
The clock tells you no time has passed
Since you walked in the room
Ten days later
You walk out
no longer resembling the one who walked in.
