Oh So Cruel

We don’t have much time left
On the hourglass
The curse was never one to be lifted
Fate it was oh so cruel
I run
As fast as my legs can push me
The burning midday sun was beating me down
I reminisce all of the missed opportunities
I’m glad it never happened
But all of the times,
That I could have said
That I once loved you
That I am sorry
The words couldn’t leave my throat
When you vanish into a million particles of glow
Into the dawn of light
And I just sit there
In a daze
And I was okay
And I knew
Somehow
You were too
And somehow I know
You knew and
You were sorry too

This is such a pretty yet sad piece! Especially like “ When you vanish into a million particles of glow”—Strange how there is so much talking and yet important things are often left unsaid…I think too that, it is unsaid, yet known. Thank you for sharing this piece.
