Borrowed Time

I cried a sea of tears

For so many

But for you

They are endless

And I just can't pinpoint why

Is it because I miss you

Is it because I want you

Or is it because I want this to end

Did I live nothing but a lie,

The I miss yous

The I cares

The I love yous

Did you really dare

Or were they the truths,

That I so desperately needed to hear

Needed to know

To make my pulse race

So I would not let you go,

So much wonder

So much promise

So much doubt

But that's what life deals us

When we are in love

Nothing is set in stone

You live on borrowed time

And borrowed time alone.

"You live on borrowed time
And borrowed time alone."
I agree with the words above and the poem. Funny how we lose people and one day wonder what happens? I like the question s in the poem. We need to enjoy every second of life. Wasted action and words will lay heavy upon our heart later. Thank you for the outstanding poetry.

This poem reminds me of a few poems I've written. Though worded differently we have penned the same emotion. ♡

Great job, this poem about borrowed time does seem to be shaped in the form of an hourglass! I have been taking a course on creating shape poetry so I appreciate that . The poem itself is beautiful and heartfelt.
