time runs

time runs

threads of connection 

so thin, so fragile 

you wouldn’t think anything of it 

time traces

sketch and silhouette

shadows of a scene

we would like to forget

I will remember 

I won’t let go 

time sends 

electric shocks

pulsing pain through our blood 

headaches for our, 

already tired temples

I will speak 

I won’t let go 

time dances 

twirls and flaunts 

spins with our emotions

dips us back 

pushes us to our knees 

I will crawl 

I won’t let go

time speaks

a sound too quiet, too loud 

a language we can’t understand

til we’re looking back

I will listen, I will hear 

I won’t let go
