The Sound of Time

In the hush of the night, the faucet drips slow,

a metronome marking the moments that flow.

Each drop a reminder of words left unsaid,

time ticking softly, in silence we tread.


Like a heartbeat it echoes, a rhythm of fears,

holding the weight of my unspoken tears.

The water cascades in a languid ballet,

a song of regret in the stillness of gray.
