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.
