Slipping Away MAG
February 24, 2014
the only memory
I have
is her walking out the door,
slipping away
like loose sand escaping
from my clutched fist
minutes pass,
but time stands still,
as if it were trying to mock me
every day more hope slips
away
like the girl, like the sand, like the time
that escaped

I really really love this poem. I can really relate to it.

I like the comparison of the girl leaving to sand slipping out of a clutched fist; it's beautiful and I love the second stanza! Great work!
