Elegy

Time

Gone...but where?

I can't call you on the phone

I can't knock on your door

No matter how loud I scream you can’t respond

I held your hand as you took your last agonizing breath

You stuttered and struck again

I stared

Hoping you would go faster

But when I look back, I dreamt you would stop

You were created

living for eternity

While the ones that need you the most

Are filled with remorse

Only then do you stop

Mocking them in their disappointment,

their failure

As if you had no emotions

You are there

Unbreachable

We can experience you

But paradoxically

You don’t exist in our vision

Not able to be interpreted

We tried to solve you

To captivate you

But you are infinite

Limitless

Something imagine by the creators

Who can’t tame their own invention

Fate

Crucial decisions

Heart pacing events

Last second moves

Breathtaking moments

All depend on its decision

Unstoppable,

Not even if someone is always angry

We hopelessly watch

Letting you

Playfully

jokingly

decide.

We unknowingly gave you life

And foolishly gave you freedom

We mourn for your passed

And plead that you don’t leave

Yet you slowly

Painstakingly

Drift away
