There's no one else on earth,
Streets are silent.
Lights have died,
Stillness, nothingness, faded…
I grasp desperately at time,
It slips and slides from my grasp.
I want to clutch it,
To hold it in my palm and make it mine…
Hours spent watching the clock,
Waiting for the future,
Losing the present,
Not taking the chance…
The days of the past,
So young, so naïve,
So many dreams, so many hopes,
The doors have been closed…
Sitting scared in the darkness,
Scared to push them open,
Scared to leave this safe place,
I wish I could see…
Carried on the tides of life,
No plans and no will,
Everything seems so hopeless,
Drowning in the sands of time…
