'Tick, Tick Boom' Poem by Rikki Giovani

My heart continuously beats
To the sound of your name
‘Nathaniel’ ‘Nathaniel’
When I look in the mirror
I see you next to me
But your not there
My heart screams
‘I need you’ ‘I need you’
The minutes pass

‘Tick’

All I dream about
Is being with you
All I think about
Is holding you in my arms
And caressing your face
All I feel is
The love you have for me
You said
‘I choose you’ ‘I choose you’
And would give me a chance
But you are with someone

‘Tick, Tick’

I see your happiness
And my face floods with tears
All I have ever cared about
Is your happiness
Your happiness is everything to me
I could care less about mine
I still want to hold you
I still want to kiss you
I still need you
My heart says
‘I love you’ ‘I still love you’
But my heart is slowly dying

‘Boom’
