Running out of time...

by tanya   Jun 27, 2005


Fall from my arms,
so frail ,i heard you cry
once full of life
you've lost the twinkle in your eye.
i ask myself and wonder
how could i just not see,
the person you cried out to
was always too blind to see.
i walked you home that night
and saw your were so glad,
but i never knew the problem
that you have always had.
When we had talked the other day,
you laughed with a friend of mine,
but i didn't even see
that you were running out of time.
Your tether was like a timer
slowly ticking a way,
but that tether got much shorter,
by each and every day.
And that's when you snapped,
the tether reached the end,
no longer could you laugh,
or always joke and pretend.
You never said goodbye,
you just left the people you love,
i hope you can see the pain,
if you're watching from above.
