windows light, moving slides
the world in motion
captured by my eyes
billions of frames
moving and forgotten
in split seconds
why do I need them
faces I want to remember, faded away
voices I want to hear whispering, lost in static of time
old frames of motion
same place that night
none of your smoke,
none of your breath,
none of your voice,
none of the look you gave
memories, sand in desert
time woke the storms
tore and broke them apart
without mercy
your face, I am forgetting
your voice, unclear in my head
dreams, burned to your ground
hopes, lost to your time
our love, did it die
only my heart stays
shattered and lonely,
each passing day
time’s only a creation
but indestructible
in the end, all are molecules and changing
why won’t it go back
in my dreams,
you used to come back
mind, poisoned
your face, blurry
your voice, cracked up
no time to hold onto you
no time to think of you
yet in each dream I have
I will always come back to you
how do I live
when each step I take
is another step away from our past
where everything made sense
where there were you and me
when life was actions
and peaceful mind
why did you have to leave
why did you have too little time to decide
why didn’t we talk again
why didn’t I catch you in time
moving on, passing
burn this world down I would
to take you back
what does it mean without you
in this world
you are only a name carved on stone
why would it ever be worth living in
what will it be
if I only want it to be over
knowing I won’t see you again
knowing I can’t turn back time
knowing I won’t be able to find the light you gave me
I can only look into my future
and see dim lights of the past
all the things I have found and lost
disappearing into another universe
