Echoes of Time

Tick, tack, tick, tack, echo in the night

Moments slipping through the cracks, fading out of sight

Silent heartbeat racing, in the shadows cast

Holding onto the seconds, trying to make them last

Whispers in the darkness, time's relentless flow

Counting every heartbeat, watching as they go

Fading in the distance, like a whispering sound

Lost within the silence, where hope is found

Every tick a story, every tack a dream

Chasing after seconds, or so it might seem

Fingers on the clock, trying to hold on tight

But the moments fade, vanish into the night

Tick tack, feel the rhythm of the night

Moving with the seconds, chasing fading light

Tick tack, in the quiet and the still

Holding into time, a moment's will

Underneath the moonlight, time stands still

Suspended in the stillness, against our will

Echoes of forever, in each clock's chime

Lost in the rhythm, in the dance of time

Tick, tack, tick, tack, whispering goodbye

Promises of tomorrow, just a lullaby

Hold on to the heartbeat, feel the gentle crack

In the infinite silence, there’s no turning back
