Hourglass
It's been time since we met,
At the top, Before the glass,
On the windblown sands,
Drifting only to settle at my feet,
I hold a key that unlocks all,
The lock broke, Fell to the ground,
Only to turn into sand,
I stood upon the dessert,
Facing all you had lain bare,
Finding myself to be,
Just as empty.....

Drifting only to settle at my feet,
I hold a key that unlocks all,
The lock broke, Fell to the ground,
Only to turn into sand,
I stood upon the dessert,
Facing all you had lain bare,
Finding myself to be,
Just as empty.....
