A Comment on Time
My feet burn in pain.
The hot, rough, coals below me.
It hurts me.
Vague waters.
Deep, unending abyss.
A forever ocean.
It scares me.
Claws, like a cat!
Fangs, like a wolf!
he sees me.
who can truly see me?
when I die.
when I go.
and away I go.
out of right now.
into tomorrow,
into the week, the month and the year after that,
I knew you
you knew me
We existed along each other,
now we barely know of each other,
my other half
I can see you.
