Slipping Away

Slipping Away

Another year slipping through my grasph
Watching you fade into memories
Do you ever look back and wonder
As you lay dying like the fall

The August heat can't warm my bones
From the chill deep in my soul
Clutching at my heart in a panic attack
Hammering my ribs apart

Can love survive beyond the face of death
Or are our memories all just lies

Scars on my body like punishment
To remind me of where I came from
To keep me looking back as I watch
Another year slipping away

I'll be more than glad to get rid of this year. It wasn't one of my better ones. Too much pain and suffering for me.

Everyone has at least one year of their life they would rather forget, Skethie, this poem is extremely touching because I think everyone can relate to it in their own ways.

Well worth the wait my friend....spectacular!
