Lets pretend

Let us pretend

That we are lovers -

Just for a moment.

Kiss me,

Hold me,

Against the sand,

Within time,

This hourglass behind,

Its grains glittering.

Golden -

With each moment

Our life becomes fragmented.

We are falling -

Set our love,

Watch it tick,

Feel my heart �" slick

Against the metronome,

Slipping

Through your fingers.

Can you hear me?

Beating loud

Writhing at your feet,

Beneath the pendulum

The timer begins -

Catch me.
