The Hourglass

When it comes to you and I,
we're always running out of time.
Like the ticking of the clock against the silence of the night. Once acknowledged, it is deafening.
And I always knew that we would come to an end, I just didn't
know how, where or when.
And still, the moonlight
slips through
my
hands.
Try as I might,
there's no use in fighting-
gravity always wins. The grains fall.
My heart beats faster. Tension builds.
This is it. This is the end.  But just when we're about to be done, about to run out of time... I take a deep breath, and turn it back over, once again.
