Loss takes its toll on the heart.

Fingertips going numb

So is the thumb

A circulation decrease

Heartbeats’ slowly cease

Inside the fire dims low

Eyes lose their sparkled glow

Drenched by thoughts of tomorrow

Bringing deep heart aching sorrow

Time moved on so, so too fast

Anchors buried deep could not make time last

Each second ticks away

Closer to the day

Relentlessly the minutes rolled

Inside all I could feel, grew stone cold

New horizons look so far away

You know how much I wanted you to stay

The keeper of time beckons

Tick, tick the seconds

A final kiss

It should never have been like this

Why was I left behind?

Is this how cruelty is defined

Tick

Tick

Only the darkness is a friend

Staying around till my end
