As the clock ticks away in time with my hearbeat I promise not to bleed,
But the tears I shed are as red as any bloodshed would ever be.
I fall down upon my knees and cry out with the pain I shouldn't feel,
As my legs crumple beneath me swifty from wounds that have not yet healed.
I look up towards the sky at nothing when my breath begins to run out,
Call out in a relief that's stark and terrible as my lungs collapse with a final shout.
As the clock ticks away the heart that beats inside of me,
I promise not to bleed,
Just enough to get me out,
Enough to set me free.
