in the yesterdays you so cherished
and the tomorrows you have such high hopes for.
anytime but now.

anywhere but here.

though you can turn your back
and walk away
you will inevitably return.

as if your leash had ran short
and you are jerked back
hitting the ground once again.

you can close your eyes and imagine every minute second of a life
with all its ups and downs
it won't be not enough.
it will never be enough.

the world rushes around you and leaves you behind
abandoning you like you had abandoned it.
but you're in a losing battle
caught and mesmerized
unable to pull away.

waste away and fall apart in the hands of time
that so easily let you slip through its fingers.
