Just a poem, I suppose.

The Counting...


When you started the Counting

Long time before you know

That you have finished counting

A very long time ago


Time did really hurt you

In many different ways

No matter how you tried to

Pain lives on, and stays


Sounds in your laughter

Are echoes in your cry

You'll know, but only after

It's late, the reason why


Luring, bitter, and haunting

Those echoes in your head

When you started the Counting

Time was already dead
