Empty As the Hourglass Shatters
for I am left empty as the
hourglass shatters,
my heart never matters-
the rain pitter-patters.
I cease to exist in the
timepiece of yesterday’s
grains.
draining the days away,
forever lost in lonely
memories.
I stacked sandbags against
the river of your anguish,
and the dam breaks with
perpetual insignificance.
my only desire was to
bestow kindness,
bring you the hope you so
longingly hungered for.
the sands of time have run
out… the rain pitter-patters.
