"Time"

[allmeheart]

“Time”<br>
A crystal tear rolled down her cheek
A gaze into it told the story of a drowning spirit
She found it hard to understand, how one tear could hurt so much
Never did she smile, only did she frown
She felt as if she was being pulled under
The only thing that seemed to be alive was the pain, stubborn and never to decrease
This all began w/ a loved one’s death and now it would become her fate
If only she could change the past
To stop the spinning metallic bullet w/ her palm
She had been there; she blamed herself for his dreadful end
She should have taken his place instead of being still, frozen by shock
A life could have been saved, a murder prevented
Everything was happening so fast she wished that she could put it all on pause
Her only escape would be the afterlife
Soon she would reach her final destination and w/ it would come happiness
Only then would a grin appear upon her face
Blood dripping from her wrist made a puddle beside her
Weak, she collapsed onto the tiled floor beneath her
Flashbacks, terrible memories, blackness, swirling inside her head
All began to fade away along w/ her existence
At last it finally disappeared as her last hopes for redemption failed her
Her time had come, the time in which she had been eagerly awaiting
As her spirit a charcoal gray began to sink below the knob on the door twisted
Her saviors had been a minute too late as time was of the essence

It's a sad day when people feel this way... "Her saviors had been a minute too late as time was of the essence" is my favorite line mainly because... isn't this how life goes... always a moment too late...
