Bracing for the impact, I wait patiently
Hoping to overcome this pain in one day
Time loses its meaning, when the wait is futile
An endless ocean of tears, stains on my pillow
Only proof of my sorrow, hidden by the hair strewn across
Borrowed time, I once said, your time, you reminded me
Now, the phrase is on your lips, and I am left speechless
No amount of begging will change your mind, you crossed over, did not look behind
I am yet to move, eyes on the gates that you so lovingly shut in my face.
