Sand, slipping away from my hands..

It hurts to laugh or even smile,

Empty and vacant I feel inside.

I'm standing alone on a barren land,

My feet are burning, I can barely stand.

No matter how much I want to embrace,

Your presence has slowly begun to fade.

Far in the distance, I try to gaze,

To catch a glimpse, of your handsome face.

Every gaze gives up, and to me it returns,

Questions me how much it exactly hurts?

I close my eyes and don't answer back,

Fearing the truth and ignoring the facts.

My life has become so meaningless now,

I'm frail and weak, nothing to hold on.

No matter what, I always knew,

I had You, to look forward to.

Now what I hold, is just like sand,

Which is slipping away, from my hands..
