Hourglass
He is but a grain of sand
Ready to be buried by another moment in time
I kneel to temptation's wanting rewards
And reach for a moment of Fate
As time's continuum buries him deeper, I begin to lose him
Deeper into the face of reality, screaming to be heard
I hear only a whisper unyielding to destiny
Brave against nature's torments... I want it to stop,
Wanting to stop the pleasure from slipping between my fingers
I am slave to the faithful virtue of her pull on my pounding heart
So I watch him disappear into the past,
leaving me with only emptiness
