Feeling it slipping away
water rushing through fingers
grasping at the illusion
of a life falling away
Struggling to embrace
insubstantial moments
tattered remnants of time
fluttering, now fleeing
upon the merest breath
But such heavy sigh
weighted by the burden
of a thousand unshed tears
always I knew the harm
you would bring upon me
Rending of my soul
as easily as the flesh
devouring me swiftly
the merest morsel
in the jaws of time
...I am lost....
