Hourglass Figure

Everything I ever wanted

you made me feel like I could have it

everything I ever wanted

in the palm of my hands

slipped through like sand

 

A series of unfortunate events

flipped over the hourglass again,

and we had a chance

to change

what could have been

your love was one of a kind, and I

dropped it in the ocean of bloodstains

The winter always stays

I can see it on your face

I wish I knew what to say

imprinted myself on you like a tattoo

that never healed

every winter the bitter loneliness gets infected again

And the question begs

Who should we hold onto?

Scars will fade 

Memories will too

I wish I knew what to tell you

In another lifetime we will try again

I love you

I miss you

I promise I will see you again.

This one has regret written all over it. Specifics are not given, but it seems that what appeared to be true love didn't work out. Implied is a sense of responsibility for the final breakup. Now there is a seasonal sorrow for what was not, and a seeming hope for better luck in another incarnation. Living in the past is sometimes satisfying, but is nevertheless a dead end street.
