Tracking time...

I don't know how to start

I don't know where to start

It's been so long

That time has seen us apart

With memories imprinted

Like a knife through my heart

I held on, I let go

Yes I did

I stepped forward, I moved on

Goodbye, I thought I bid

Why me?

If death came knocking on my door

I’d gladly open it and let it in…
It couldn't scare me, not anymore

If pain came along and asked me if I wanted more

I’d have to humbly decline…

For my basket was already full and overflowing

Reflections

It’s not when you are not here that it hurts so much…

It’s when I know you’ll always be there…and yet….

Like water slipping through my fingers…

The harder I try to hold on….

The faster you seem to slip away…

You are not mine to keep….

I am not yours to weep…

Like every measured heartbeat….

It hurts so deep….

I dare not say anymore…not today…nor tomorrow…

Coz every second spent in your presence was mine to reap…..

I try and reach out …..

But empty space is all that I can feel about….

A simple wish…..

Seems to have been washed away in an early swish…

It’s been long gone now….

With every memory imprinted like a rock…

I graciously walked away with a bow….

But you’ve left with me a key for which there exists no lock....
