Death's Hourglass (Woman Hallucinates Dead Boyfriend And Dies)

Sand falls
Through the glass
doom falls
Through me, as if a trespass

Memories dance
But they never last
Head in my hands
As I stare at the hourglass

My last wish
One look from the one I will see again
Before my love is destined to perish
As my fate remains to be mundane

The moon hides in strife
My eyes in tranquility close
Once was life
A life with an expiry dose
