Tick Tock

I'm a clock with no face
hands moving with time.
The pressure is rising
with each hourly chime.

A clock with no eyes
to see what lies ahead.
No way to ensure safety
no end to my dread.

A clock that can't see
the pain and the fear
with each step I take
knowing danger is near.

A clock with no feelings
no heartbeat,ime .

What would happen
to the clock with no face ?
If the batteries dies,
would it just be replaced ?

Time can be changed
forward and back.
But not with this clock
that's something it lacks.

Time will go on
with each tickety tock,
and the clock with no face
is still just a clock.
