pretty little time bomb

pretty little time bomb

A Poem by Shannon

What a pretty little time bomb
With her fuse alight
Take a step back
Because you'll lose the fight

Tick-tock

The final count back
emotions she tried to drown
Mascara rivers running black
You think you can keep her down?

TICK-TOCK

Listen to the tempo
Her heartbeat divine
go ahead, hit her again
She'll go off before her time

TICK-TOCK

Can you hear it now?
That's your end drawing near
Because you abused her so
And now its her you have to fear

TICK-TOCK

That's right, now its you who is shaken
Now its you, who is afraid
After toying with her innocence you had taken
Its time you paid

TICK-TOCK

No time to run
and sorry won't help now
Whats done is done
Listen to her solemn vow...

"tick-tock"

A gently dark smile
a steely glint
Was it worthwhile?
to push her to the limit?

tick-to-.....

Very good. I wonder who was the poor guy that pushed her. I absolutely loved the font. It presented the levels of intensity smoothly and the verses following it did their part and share. Liked it :)

I love this. It's the kind of thing an angelic little girl with a demonic mind and smile would say (Like a feminine Tate...) I don't know how to describe, I just simply loved it.

Fantastic. Pretty much as I expected for the most part. I would not say this was emotional, it is, but in a cold and calculating way. I pity the fool that pushed the bomb.
