slip sliding away

[transcendental7]

Sometimes I debate in my head which is worse: the feeling of someone receding or the sight of them completely gone. I guess it can be hard to tell which one is happening...or maybe has already happened. Either way it's one of the most painful things our hearts can endure. the worst is that feeling of helplessness as you feel them slipping right between your fingers. I think death is just the finality of someone completely gone.

Regrets coat you like slick, heavy oil.
