Time is ticking
Never ending
The hourglass
Like sand
Cascading
Through my fingers
Day by day
Your brightness
Fading
You didn’t build your hell
But you can’t fathom leaving
Trapped in a web
Of your own weaving
Haunted by lack
The ghosts you created
Haunted by hunger
Never satiated
No wonder I was never enough
Like a mirror to your sins
I remind you too much
Of an emptiness
You don’t know how to fill
Hot and cold
You feel trapped
Trapped by the truth of us
And what you fear you lack
Haunted by insecurities
That tie your hands
Behind your back
You said
We didn’t ask
To feel this way
And that you wouldn’t ask
To change it
We can only play
The cards we’re dealt
Well,
My love,
Your poker face is amazing
