The distance between us <br />Is killing me <br />How do I go on <br />When I can't see <br />I feel so alone <br />Like I'm the only one here <br />I hate this feeling <br />I need to be near <br />The one I love <br />With all my heart <br />I really hate this feeling <br />Of drifting apart <br />I feel like I'm living <br />In nothing but dark <br />There is no light <br />No angels to hark <br />To hear my prayer <br />To hear my screams <br />I can't stand this <br />It all just seems <br />To be slipping away <br />Right through my hands <br />Like time through and hour glass <br />Life's nothing but sand <br />So I'll stand here and wait <br />Alone in the dark <br />Waiting and listening <br />For the angels to hark. <br /> <br />Written sometime 2006.<br /><br />Shelley Caines<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/time-through-an-hour-glass/
