Time

It’s slipping away from me, like sand,

Desperately I try to grab the falling sand, but it continues to slip,

-Away from my reach,

There’s nothing I can do, not matter how hard I try,

The words repeat in my head over and over,

“Don’t forget”,

But, slowly, I do,

I forget it all,

I forget the sand,

Why I need it,

And, why I’m here,

All of it slips away from grasp,

As the sand continues to fall,

If I only I had more time,

I need more time…

 

All I need is some more time
