Time grinds on.
Each heartbeat hurts more than the last.
I don't want the day, the moments, to pass.
Each one takes me farther from you.
***
It seems like the earth should stop turning
since my world has.
Tomorrow seems a cruel place
without you in it.
***
I left my heart in your hand.
Bring it back to me
so that I can see you
just one more time.
About the Creator
Audrey Steele
I'm a math teacher (my apologies to the math-haters out there) but words are actually my jam. Unlike algebra, which has few practical uses, words are a powerful, creative force. They can stir hope and inspire change. They are live-giving.
