Time Bomb

Leandra Fuentes 1991 (connecticut)



Every time I look up all see is you.  
all the pain is and all the lies like its the truth.
I cant let you go, not like before.
Because, your love is like a ticking time bomb.
your love is like everything
ticking, ticking inside.
there is so much hate and so much crime inside but,
is it enough for you this time
ticking, ticking inside.
Because these lies are becoming able  to hide inside.
'but you, you have shown me what love is really like.
all the pain, the hate bouncing inside.
its amazing how no one can hear me.
no one , but here this time.
Because, your love is like a ticking time bomb.
your love is like everything ticking, ticking inside.
there is so much hate and so much crime.
But is it enough for you this time?
Ticking, ticking inside.
