tick tock
drip drop

silent sighs

how many have i written?
and better yet not given?

tick tock goes the clock

hours spent

drip drop

perennial tears so wet

click clack
keyboard strokes
even as you read.

skkkk skkkk
pen against paper

drip drop
tears falling
blotches forming
deforming heartfelt words
tick tock
another minute gone
without you here

a sigh

i love you
don't you know?

I'm sorry, yolilitzli, I was very weary when I read your poem and I think the title was what made me say what I did. After I went back and really read it, I can see the pain and grief there, sorry, Buddy, didn't mean for an insult.

I was, because of the title and some of the things said in the poem. Again, sorry. Let's carry on . . .

Good write Richard.
I like the format and delivery as it makes the subject more absorbing.

The ending lines are just right!
