Hourglass
The metronome
Of rain on the rooftop
Velvet draped across the floor"¦mmmm
Was a time when we measured
But never up to our fathers
The sorrow cuts
And as I stare at the blade
You've reached the dark we fear
Locked
Stitches in time
Nothing can break apart our seams
You were humble and kind
Pondering times
As I sit in a shrine
Never meant to be
Rebuilding a passion that never saw a highway
How many more miles would you bare my friend?
Like a jab to the throat
Surrealism silenced the voice
But what is left to say?
And all I can think is thank you for your time
As I reflect with pain
Locked
Stitches in time
Nothing can break apart our seams
You were humble and kind
Pondering times
As I sit in a shrine
Never meant to be
Spiraling the hourglass"¦
You have loved
You have seen
Through the darkest nights that steal your dreams
You have gone
Slipped away
Only time will help to ease the pain
Spiraling the hourglass"¦
