the

most important

things

were the

ones I never told

you. like how

when I

was

alone the

sun dimmed the

clouds got darker the

rain got colder the lightning

got scarier and the

thunder louder like

how without

you

with me

laughter

silenced smiles

were erased fun

was illegal and memories

became irreplaceable my

life was

my

hourglass that

at first the

sand inside started sinking

slower with each passing moment

as went on time

and each grain

fell my

palms

grasped tighter

to the greased

metal bar called hope

until my hands slipped then

i watched my hourglass

was falling falling

crashing smashing

shattered.
