"Sands of sorrow slip, like grains of sand

 "Sands of sorrow slip, like grains of sand

Through my clenched fists, as you slowly fade to stand
I grip hard, but it's too late
The moments lost, the memories irate
I thought I had you, but you slipped away
Like grains of sand, in an endless bay

I linger still, with fingers tight
But only shadows remain, in the fading light
Your touch is gone, your warmth is cold
Leaving me with only tears, to unfold

In the vast expanse, of emptiness I roam
Searching for the pieces, of our love now gone
But like the sands of time, they slip away
Leaving me with only memories, of what could have stayed

Oh, how I wish I could turn back time
To hold you close, and make our love align
But fate is cruel, and time is unkind
And all I'm left with is this lingering mind

In this endless sea, of what could have been
I'll wander alone, with only shadows unseen"
