tick tack tick tack

You were too slow.
You fucked it up.

Not because you lacked strength,
not because luck turned its back —
because you hesitated.
Because you froze.

Because you betrayed your own dream —
and it died alone, hoping you would fight.

You had the fire.
You had the shot.
But you let it slip away.

Now you sit alone,
the weight of regret crushing your chest.
Rotting inside you like poison —
ripping you apart from the inside out,
forever.

The promises you made in the dark nights.
The dreams you chased
The battles you swore you’d never lose.
The fragile hope that kept you alive.

everything —

fading into silence, haunted
by pain and shattered hopes inside.

You could have been a someone.
You could have done it.

But now?

You’re left with nothing —
haunted forever by the ghost of regret.

Tick tack. Tick tack.

The clock is merciless.
And it’s already running out.
