The rat and the clock

Tic tac, sat a rat.
Down the stairs and by the clock
Waits for you, your presence lack.

Tic toc, said the clock
Do you wait for me to stop?
Don't you know she wont be back?

Snip snap, did the rat
Biting, cutting, breaking, breaching
You deserve this, little brat.

Please stop, said the clock
I'll tic no more, i will stop!
Time is fading, all is black.

No more sounds,
it sat still.
Waiting longer than before
Because now, time's no more.
