Time Can Do So Much

Are you still mine? Where did you go? You left without your keys and phone. You took your breath and left your bones. You won’t reply. Your lips are cold. (How soon your softness turned to stone.) Are you still mine? Where did you go? Can you reply without your phone? You’re out of time and I’m on hold. But time goes by— a second’s pass. It won’t return; We can’t go back, but now you live a different law. To age and loss you don’t belong. Where did you go? Are you still mine? My every moment’s lost to find. May 1, 2016 poem based on Unchained Melody by The Righteous Brothers for Gren's Evergreens (Golden Oldies) # 2 - Poetry Contest
