~Hourglass~

follow the
changing seasons
as the
leaves change
with every
new bloom
it fades

as we
take it
step-by-step
nobody is
to blame
for such
a try
just confusion
the haze inside

all the while,
going through
the toils
of the
passing days
hold me
tight

better slow
it down
find the time
open my eyes
before I
run out
of it
the hourglass
doesn't wait
for anyone

making up
my own ending
I'll let
you know
how I feel
at least
the wind
is in our favor

they spin
web for me
it's amazing
that you
chose to
show grace
to a wretch
like me
