turning hands of the clock ;
they go tick tock , tick tock .
footsteps that did not stop ;
they went flip flop , flip flop .

in the busy workplace of the sick ;
stiletto heels go click , click , click .
outside and taking the backseat ;
the birds go tweet , tweet , tweet .

her heart races before going numb ;
going thump thump , thump thump .
nobody being at her back and call ;
she mumbled : don't fall , don't fall .

but she crumbled .

limp just a few moments later ;
silence overcame her entity .
