Inspired by the painting by Salvador Dali:
'The Persistence of Memory'
The endless eking out of time
Drains me of my verve
Trying to recall what once was mine
Is any sense of self conserved?
If I could summon just an ounce
Of the energy I need
This state of melancholy I would denounce
From this self made prison be freed
Just over the horizon
Where time does not stand still
I could live before I wizen
Instead of melt and meld until
My numbered day descends
Where regrets outnumber grains of sand
Unchallenged misery finally comes to a end
Engulfed in sadness of a life unlived as planned
