everything has been paused, my thoughts,
my mind and my heart.
dreams blasted, destroyed, pulverized
and completely torn apart.

this moment is silent, empty, and swirling
with air that's cold.
blood of yesterday's youth has now given
in to a body that's old, no longer bold.

clocks are feared, turned around so that
the truth may not be known.
bound to feel it, realize it when it slowly
creeps deep inside one's bones.

yesterday's glory had its place, slipping
away like grains of sand.
no tomorrow's for today, living for this
moment while i can.
