Slipping

Slipping

The days are slipping
Faster then sand through an hourglass
Except my heart can’t quite keep up
And I am fading out fast

Like a burned out star
Who melts from the sun
I am not gaining a piece of me
Yet I am losing someone

Ripped from my soul
I saw them slowly tremble away
Will they return to me soon?
Seems more like forever and a day

I try to keep busy
And ease the creatures in my mind
I try to look forward
But I am living in what is not mine

Stuck in cement
My heart dribbles through the cracks
It’s hard to piece it together
Won’t you ever come back?

Wishing and waiting
And hoping some more
I stare at the window
As my tears encase the floor

I know this will subside
As soon as light hits my hallow heart
But how much more can I swallow?
How much longer will we be apart?

When you return to me
I will be waiting with open arms
My heart will be able to smile again
The world will be buzzing
And sounding its internal alarms
