The Bomb

Tick tock
The bomb went off
It hit hard
It cut deep
It woke me from
A peaceful sleep
It erupted fast
It made me weep
It hit me hard
It cut me deep
The anger smoldered
It simmered
It stewed
Both of us waited
Both of us knew
Bits of our hearts
Broke off and died
We tried to ignore it
We pushed it aside
We finally talked
About the explosion
You said you still love me
There was no emotion
You said I'm your best friend
So we'll try once again
Until we finally give in
Admit we can't live in
This world we've created
That keeps us both mad
Keeps us frustrated
Just watching and waiting
with sad trepidation
Til the next bomb goes off
tick tock… tick tock….
