Otha Gwabe

THE FINAL HOUR

Holding in emotions

Rapid churning in motion

Tumbling down in a twirl

Going round in a whirl

 

Pounding feeling

Stabbing pain

Mind reeling

Losing more than can gain

 

Folding from the hurt

Fighting for all it’s worth

It won’t stop

Like broken glass climbing to the top

 

Everyday my heart grows weaker

Pain growing more as I fall

I feel the hand of the Grim Reaper

I don’t know how long I have at all

 

The clock is ticking

Running out of time

Now I’m thinking

Must enjoy as much before the chime
