each tick of the clock brings it closer
every mistake becomes inevitable
the time draws nearer
it lingers ahead in the future
it pounces on unsuspecting victims
it feeds on the innocent
the too young are put at risk
there is no mercy to be shown
no tears to be shed
everyone has to go at one point
some sooner then others
there is no point in fearing the things to come
go headstrong into life
and leave this earth with the ones you love
and one last smile
before you leave us
with absence.

Nice poem, I like the personfication (is that how you spell it?)
I didn't quite understand the last two lines, "before you leave us/with absence". But it sounds good. KEEP IT UP!!
I agree with Dotty about the last too lines. I've noticed you write a lot of poetry. I'll check sometime over the summer to see if you have written more.
I love the line, "It lingers ahead in the future".
Fabulous imagery. And what a concept.
the entire poem had amazing meaning and was extremly thoughtful. I really liked the solemn, somber notes.
