I've never been the patient kind
I've never been the one to sit
Legs crossed
Hands folded
Eyes closed
Head down
Mind blank
No, I'm the greedy child
I'm the one who feeds
on instant gratification
Whose mind is always moving
always curious
I've never been the patient one
I've never taken kindly to hinted surprises
I'm the one who checks the clock
(It's eight)
Swears not to look again but..
Checks the clock
(Still eight)
I'm the one who sits
Legs twitching
Hands moving
Eyes open
Mind crowded
And sneaks another glance at the clock
(Still eight)
I've always been the one
To drum my fingers
To twitch
To tap
I've never been one to believe
The constant
Tic, tic, tic
Of the second hand
When years pass between minutes
I've always been the one
Who paces
Back
And forth
And back
Who checks the clock obsessively
And...
for a poetry duel thingy mah whuutsit

Snails see the benefits,
The beauty in every inch.

the conversations of which one of us is a better worrier
"O_O what if...they're in a ditch...and a murdering rapist just escaped from jail...D8 and their car broke down...and the murder-rapist pulled them from the car and dragged them deep into the forest...DDDD8 what if they're dying as we speak??? drowning in a puddle of their own blood??? asking for us??? T_T but we can't here them cuz we're here, staring at the damn clock, going "D8 why aren't they here yet???" "

You're not going to kill them. They're already dead. You can't make them deader. Dead isn't a degree. You can't be dead, deader, deadest- Tod
