She thought she had it all
everything she needed
tried keeping it all to herself
tightly in her hands
but she didn't notice it slipping from her grasp.
and darling, don't you know,
you can't hold onto slippery soap
then
oppurtunies missed
friends lost
through her fingers
slowly but surely
turned to an hourglass
grains of
s
a
n
d
falling aimlessly
unnecessarily
to the ground
