Quick Sand
I am one that runs on quicksand
Whom refuses to be pulled by the sand grands
Stand to unjustly things
so I sit instead
or rather just lie in bed
and just watch as the time pass by
and with these two eyes
as you hurt instead
I lie in a bed
and cry myself to sleep
with the pillow muffling my weeps
I keep turning the hourglass
like it runs on a certain beat
I watch everything repeat
Time keep slipping away in the quicksand
My heart was given to too many hands
Now I stand and for the first time understand
while still lying in that bed
I wake up and see
what was truly before me
sand that was up to my cheeks
I can barely feel my body heat
My eyes saw only them
The things that were broken
I can’t turn that hourglass anymore
Time has run out
I keep sinking
There’s no use to try to break free
I am hopeless
I am in that hourglass left with words unspoken
