Tick-tock goes the clock as I wait for a call <br />Markin' days off the calendar on the wall <br /> <br />Waiting and wondering where love could be <br />Counting the days until ‘I' turns to ‘we' <br /> <br />Tick-tock goes the clock as I sit and wait <br />Sometimes it's early, other times it's late <br /> <br />Time taking it's time, never fast enough <br />Who knew waiting for love could be so rough <br /> <br />Tick-tock goes the clock as I dial the phone <br />I'm so stinkin' tired of being alone <br /> <br />But there's no answer to my desperate call <br />I guess I'll not have any love at all<br /><br />The Poet Darkling<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/tick-tock-71/
