You turned away

I close my eyes.
Time is fading away as the minutes go by.
A single tear rolls down my cheek.
The clock ticks in tune with my heartbeat.
And as my life flashes before me,
I think of you.
Of your deep blue eyes and skin like sunlight.
But you turned away.
And my life is fading,
The clock is ticking,
A tear rolls down my cheek.
And as my life fades away,
I think about how you never came.
You turned away.
