A Moment
For a moment time was stilled
And
Became a total irrelevance
It was then though
As I waited and watched from the sidelines
Like some predatory voyeur
That for a moment nothing
Whatsoever seemed to matter
Yet in that instant
A hunger came upon me
Heavy
Like some dark depressive curtain
It was then I lost
All sense of direction and purpose
It was then
I realised she was lost to me and gone forever
