Sands of Time

A look back,

A minute spent,

A thousand images

A flurry of thoughts

A baggage of bandages

A dizziness of heights,

Oh! We’ve now been lost in the sands of time

Lost, completely lost!

Where are you?

A speck of sand in the desert?

A lost drop in the ocean

A drop of hue

In the canvas of life

And, an eternity of love

Of darkness in daylight

And shadow at twilight

Quest for a lost soul

Buried deep within

Oh! We’ve now been lost in the sands of time

Lost, completely lost!

The pier of my life

The pillar of my happiness

Taken all away

At the blink of an eyelid

You’ve hid

From me

Shied from my love;

Of grass that’s green

Of sky that’s blue

Of sun that’s yellow

And of water that’s reflective,

My love will never cease.

The blinding faith,

The irrevocable devotion

The enormity of respect

The understanding of a lifetime

I still could not enter that pump of life

That beats in the left of you?

Oh! We’ve now been lost in the sands of time

Lost, completely lost!

The atmosphere heavy,

Your footsteps distant

You had decided to leave me

To not talk

Or had I let it be that way?

The gaping hole in me ever so big

The void that lay

The burning inside

The pain outside

Whenever I see you

Unable to reach for your hands

And hold it close to mine

Unable to converse normally

For I can’t stop my heart racing

Towards you

With such speed and passion

And love,

I think it’s a gimmick

My heart is playing on me

But I soon understand

That I can not contain it anymore

And that this is what love is about

You do not love me

You never have

You never will

But I have,

And I know it’s worth loving you

Despite the pain you have caused.

The hole aches now,

As it stares in defiance

For it will not close by itself

And I do not have the heart to;

The pain, I savour

It is the only thing that makes me myself now

It is the second that I love after you

It is the only proof that I have loved you

With all my heart

And it talks about me now

Empty.

Oh! We’ve now been lost in the sands of time

Lost, completely lost!

Like a bolt of lightning

With tremendous energy

You struck me

Dazzling and electrifying me

Leaving an impact and scars

After which, you left

Leaving me to tend to them;

But the scars wouldn’t heal

And the lightning wouldn’t return

To sweep me again;

There have been showers after the lightning

To try and soothe the wounds

But it is more pain that I prefer

I can live with it

Forever in the hope of being with you

Even if I know that it is a fantasy

I am not despondent and,

I live in constant hope

That someday, you just might come back for me

But I have not forgotten that

We’ve now been lost in the sands of time

Lost, completely lost!
