4:17 I'm awake and aware,
shaking with nervous energy and
searching for your face in the surrounding darkness.
Like a magnet I'm drawn to you.
5:05 Laying with you, our bodies intertwined
like an intricate celtic design.
Our hearts beat in rhythm, never missing a beat.
9:01 Happy in your arms.
I could lay here for always listening to you breathe.
9:08 You're gone and I'm uncertain you'll return,
all I can do is try not to imagine the worst, but the glass is half empty and the clock ticks loudly.
9:12 Your back and I'm happy to see you but
I can tell from your face that you aren't staying.
This is the part where I begin fraying.
The glass is empty,and the sand
has reached the bottom of the hour glass.
Time is up.
