A Dangerous Safe

You're a ticking clock.

A constant reminder

Of impending doom;

A dangerous safe.

My pulse is winning,

But you've already won.

But I can't give up,

Not that easily.

I don't know what it is

But you have it.

I don't know how you got it,

But I want it.

I'll crack the code

That is your mind-

Finding answers

That disintegrate in light.

In the dust

I'll write my name

And leave a kiss

To remember me by.

Before too long,

The wind will carry me away,

And I will become an echo

Of a ticking clock.
