Tick-tock, Tick-tock, Tick-tock,
Can you hear the toll of the clock?
Reaping, ringing, whistling, winding,
Listen to the mourmens crying.
See the Raven at the sill,
wishing you a deathly will.
Hear that cold wind blowing brightly,
Tempting you to make you smiling.
Tick-tock, Tick-tock, Tick-tock,
Can you hear the toll of the clock?
Calling, falling, hearing, searing,
Hear the call of the Raven tearing
Through you veins and through your heart,
See the vision of you true love fall apart.
Above your head, and out of your reach,
Gripping, grinding, guilty, guiding.
Tick-tock, Tick-tock, Tick-tock,
Can you hear the toll of the clock?
Lying on your deathly grave,
Hear the callings, wind and wave.
The Raven sits perching, peaceful and periless,
Eyeing every movement, with eagerness elighting,
Calling to the wind, "Come! Let there be lightning!"
The winds shout and the storm bellows,
The sky opens, and out comes the mellow,
Electricity is in the air, can you feel it?
Of course not, isn't it luck?
Not to hear, the toll of the clock...
Tick-tock, Tick-tock, Tick-tock, Tick-tock...

Description:
WARNING!
This poem is MEANT to be dark, disturbing, and grotest. If you enjoy happy poetry, then DO NOT READ!
This is a poem I started writing after reading The Raven for about the millionth time (Edgar Allen Poe is the greatest author of all time!) The poem is about someone who has lost the love of their life, and driven themself to madness, and ultimately, suicide. - Date: 12/22/2008
