The Click Poem by Caliban Hicks

The thought makes me sick
The sound of the click
Comes out of the dark
Like a hunting shark
To take me away
On some dreary winter day

The click wont come
For i know what its done
To those who love
The heartbeat of
The one who has fallen
To the click and callin'
Of that cold metal
Heartless as a petal
Beauty i always admired
Banned together and conspired
Against my sanity
My unbroken vanity
I believed myself to be protected
By the wall i constructed
Around my mind
No crack could you find

But the click
The click made its own
When the sound of a phone
Gave rise to worry
But he couldnt hurry
And stop that click
Where blood ran thick
And i cant make that click myself
So it goes back to a shelf
Never again to make
The click that makes me shake
