Gripping and shaking

Heartbeat racing

Time my intimate enemy

Confined within closed doors

Nothing

But sounds of scratching and scraping

Hawk-eyed and watchfully examining

My breath quickens

My hands hasten

My minds reels for answers

"Time is up!"

My clenched hands releasing

I unleash my final sigh

"That test was pretty hard!"

As I sit upon the once fertile grounds

I ponder where the past has gone

Time and time no one listens to cries of help

Worn and deserted

Nothing but barren surrounds

Fruition a distance memory

Too late a recent discovery

A remebrance to the past

A simple gesture,

warm embrace,

encouraging smile

That's all it takes

to know it's love

Endless paths

Twisting and turning

Left or right

Up or down

Continuous possibilities

What the future holds, is too far to see

Is it a world of anythings or is it world of perpetual nothings?

Do I walk aimlessly or do I walk fearlessly?

I have yet to know

What the future holds, is too far to see

I hope it does me kind, for I fear the unknown.

Sometimes I wake up gasping for air

Pretending it doesn't hurt me

But the memory continues to linger

Forever it haunts me

"It's no big deal" they say

"You're being too sensitive"

To me, it marks another day of pain

A wound to the heart

Years later, leaving that wretched scar

Sleepless nights and a pounding beat

I hope one day I can just go to sleep

"No."

It felt like a punch in the gut

Brief, short and right to the point

My mind reeling

My insides sloshing left and right

My breath stops

I felt so... exposed, open, vulerable.

And most of all...hurt

Throat beginning to close

Eyes starting to water

I quickly mumbled, "I just wanted to ask... that's all...."

"And my answer is no. "

A minute. An hour. A day. A year.

All passing by with just a blink of an eye

Goals yet to be finished

Promises broken

Dreams wander

The list goes on and on

Maybe for another day

Tomorrow. The day after that. And the day after that.

Time passing

And before you know it

It's just too late

Time runs continuously

You stay static

A minute. An hour. A day. A year.

Years have passed

I thought things could never change

But as looked into your eyes

I've realized something has changed

Years ago

There'd be light and there'd be excitement within those eyes

But now all I see is dullness when you glance my way

I never thought things would be so different

People have always come and gone

But I never knew it'd be you

Someone has taken my place

Someone has given you something to look forward to

And the number 1 spot I thought would hold forever

Is gone forever

The you I knew is no longer here

Should I look for it?

Or should I just move on as well?

Some time ago our pasts has collided

But now our futures seem far far away

Never to intersect and never to meet again
