Sands of Time

Through the sands of time we live
Shadows lurking all around
Waiting for help that never came
All I loved just disappeared
Didn't want anyone around
Couldn't handle one more goodbye
All that stayed wouldn’t set me free
Full of anger, striking out at me
How often I stopped to wonder, why me?
How much further till I could fly?
Sinking further in a dark abyss
No friends or family to pull me out
The sand in falling, spilling free
Washing it’s way over me
I never knew life could be this way
How much longer must I wait?
