Morning Words

Morning Words by Khari D. Hawke Not enough time...  5.....  The countdown begins  for the time we have left....  Watching the wick of our lives burn  till there's nothing.  The time we fought so hard for  Is it gone already?  Just when it seemed like the beginning of us.  Ashes from a love that blazed eternally....  4.....  Ha, no eternity here.  Gone as the wisps of smoke from deep within.  Alone again....  You promised it wouldn't end.  You swore the ride would take me to my destiny but.....  All thats left is the dust from your desert.  A desert from the dried tears from my brown eyes.  As one holds a child I hold my head,  Just like when you used to hold my heart.  The end came as a flash fire,  both swift and full of destruction.  And for what?  To release our intermingled hearts.  3.....  The magic that i sought since a child  The fairy tale that I was told  The history we made; never was.  Prove to me that my time was precious.  That the fires of our struggle meant even a little.  That the anguish I feel now was worth the pain  2.....  Times almost up now  Rushing to the end of this dream  Racing God knows whom and for God knows why.  Out of breath in a marathon of doubt and frustration,  Losing strength, falling....  Clutching my chest to feel alive again.  Blindly wading through the sands of time.  The ashes weighing me down.  1.....  And it is done....  Just as fast as it had begun.  The fight is now through.  No more time in the hourglass.  Keep my heart,  I don't want anymore broken glass.  Its time now to turn arond.  Begin a new season in the mind.  Keep my past,  I don't want anymore memories  Most importantly  Keep our love,  Because I don't need it anymore.  All I need is my own flame.  Burning in the shadows once again
