Have you ever been grasped so tightly by a moment that you suddenly know everything and nothing?

An inch of breath lay before you just out of reach

A clock ticking to a rhythm pronounced, but a sound you cannot place

Have you ever been grasped so tightly by a moment that your bones don’t know how to bend?

You try to move for a brief eternity

Your pause tiptoes on the stretch of time

Have you ever been grasped so tightly by a moment that you can’t speak?

Words are there on the curve of your lips

But lost to the remnant of a smile

Have you ever been grasped so tightly by a moment that everything within you wants to scream?

To close the gap between you

As your heart aches for freedom

To finally touch

A moment so suffocating that it’s all you’ll ever know

It’s everything you’ll remember

A moment so brief

In seconds so few

Trapped with someone meant for you
