like the sands of time

many a night has been wasted underneath 
the midnight sky dreaming, hoping, praying 
to gods that have long since died

I beg of you 
I beg of anyone 
sing to my demons a lullaby 
let them sleep in a peaceful slumber
their whispers haunt Me

how much more heartache must I endure
I'm already as hollow as they come
My yesterdays have left Me cold an alone
and tomorrow holds no promise of a better day

all that I am, 
all that I was, 
all that I could of been
all the love that carried Me 
slipped like the sands of time 
through my fingers 
never to be seen again
