Sand in an Hourglass
She felt the pressure
Of a world being taken from her
Everything she knew
Was disappearing
And the end was getting closer
Soon she would have nothing
And all she held dear
Would slip through fingers that held on too tightly
She knew
That it was time to let go
But her heart wasn’t ready
Nor was it acting rationally
So as the clock ticked down
Quicker than sand in an hourglass
She fell and never got up
