Sinking
Memories,
you leave me breathless
with every passing one.
It's sinking in
that they are gone.
Passed by
like the ticking second
on an erratic clock.
I know somehow
I'll get my happy ending
but thoughts linger in the past,
on all these memories.
Dragging me down,
without a lifejacket
again and again,
impossible to let go...
