Literature Text

this silence is pending;
like a question left unanswered,
a gift left unopened,
a smile unreciprocated.

you left me speechless;
just a glance in my direction
that pierced through my skin,
through my innermost thoughts.

I'm left here, not knowing
what to say, to think –
I remain speechless;
the silence is pending.

I feel the time ending
as though there's not a minute
left to scribble my understandings
down on this confession.

and I'm rendered insignificant
against the flowing of the water,
the drifting of the season,
the draining of the sand.

I can't hold this water
much longer in my hands;
I feel the time ending
and I'm powerless.
