Staring in the Face of Regret by Averey Respall

Sitting, Waiting, Procrastinating.

Later, After, Then.

This is it.

It's now or never.

Tick-Tock-Tick-Tock

A glimpse at the clock

Regret stares back at you

as you begin to doze off into your paradise.

Tick-Tock-Tick-Tock.

You hate me.

I am your enemy.

I always have been and always will be.

Time.

You stare at me with the face of regret

and I stare back with the reflection from

my clear glass surface.

Every tick and tock is a taunt

to your everyday.

Tick-Tock-Tick-Tock.
