On days like this
I turn into a pillar of salt
from regret for you.
I shouldn't have flown
away from you so soon
so much undone, so much untouched,
so much that never will be said.
I kiss the hourglass
watch the sand flow away
a salty kiss.
I kiss the hourglass,
be well. Kiss the sand goodbye.
I thought we had time,
to talk of so many things.
But sometimes our hopes break
and sometimes hourglasses shatter.
You bid me farewell with a laugh
that still resounds inside me.
You said we'd see each other
soon enough, but things go as they go.
I know that it is beyond hope
to glue together the shattered pieces.
What god has torn apart
let no man repair.
