Hourglass

Hey readers! Sorry for the long wait, but it's been tough lately. I'll be in Spain for 2 weeks with my school during Spring Break to travel and share music from around the world. It'll be a blast! After all, they say....Music knows no borders! That's our motto :3

So this next blog post is gonna be a bit different. Probably not much like the poems you normally read. Hope you enjoy it. 

The Hourglass

The earth shattering slam of the wooden door

lay in reminisces of chalky slivers.

A fist of iron, and a body of rock

now crouches against a wall

using it as a boulder of support.

No other news could have been as 

life shattering

life changing

life altering.

He will 

Never be the same

What could be better than

a friend in a time of need.

Care and comfort,

sharing of thoughts.

A victim

 a declared host for

a growing intruder in his brain

that will one day, 

take complete dominance.

I, the friend could help with

nothing.

I could do,

nothing

I could only watch and assume

things will be okay.

Years of friendship. 

The uncountable memories

Ice cream wars, popcorn fights

staying up late emailing

chasing each other in the park.

Now all was nothing but a moving picture

trying to burn itself 

into the deepest depths of my mind.

Heart to heart

mind to mind

hand in hand

staring at the night sky.

The glistening of hope

shooting across the forbidden depths 

of eternity.

Oh how we wished 

life could be

filled with hope

"Time is running out" 

he had one last wish

"Be my girl" 

The one guy that I would 

laugh

cry

drool

punch

and fight with

only had eyes for me.

Blinking up a storm, 

trying to meander through 

the vortex of confusion and shock

which enveloped me in a craze.

What could I possibly say?

The ticking of the bomb never diminishes

the seconds get closer

to forever darkness

and here I stay

unable to make a judgement

Yes or No

three letters

or two?

Torture haunting like a lurking shadow

constantly following me with pain.

But in the end, 

my words hurt him

more than his words could ever

hurt me.

Not long after, 

the raven flew across the sky,

closing his chapter

with no last goodbye. 

But I did receive a letter

and let me tell you,

it sure made me cry.

The words 

"I will always love you,

you've saved my life"

etched into the pale

but ragged paper.

Yet I won't ever know

how 

or 

why.

Who could help, but let the tears

pour like faucets from their eyes

It wasn't till then that I finally realized

I was too late.

All this time I realized,

I was running away

from the words I was scared he'd say.

But in reality

I had forgotten

the promise we made

that he 

and I

would be

each others confidants

forever.

What hurts the most

is watching you leave.

Never did I want to say 

goodbye.

Yet now I know

that in life

the hourglass keeps draining.

The sand keeps spilling,

sometimes you can flip it over

and start anew,

but other times

the glass falls off the table

and you are left

with what you can't undo.

Don't wait until that moment

where you wish you could redo

the little things in life.
Don't wait to realize 

you were

a little too late.

In memory of my great friend Matt, who left this world way too soon. Missing you day after day. In our hearts forever bud!

Thanks for reading! Hopefully that wasn't too long and a drag to read. I figured I would try a way to write it so that it wasn't direct story telling. 

Here's a few songs. They are all sadder songs, that don't result in a happy ending. Give them a listen if you're up for it!
