A Moment

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
