Childhood Slips Away

My dear, you are slipping slipping slipping out of my hands.
I cannot stand this incessant dripping dripping dripping, won't you hear my demands?!
I catch a drop only to watch it fall once more,
But I will not stop trying, the last morsel is worth fighting for!
Long ago you cradled me at night with the sounds of your lullaby
Larger than the ocean at one time, your waves would wash my freckled face as I cried

Yet you leave this world in a single drop, with only my tears by your side.

Who will sing to me when I am lonely?
Who will wash away my sorrow when the world is gray?
Please don't leave me dear, stop this awful decay!
When you are gone completely, part of me will die too.
The years must've passed by me unnoticed, it seems your departure is far too soon.
And then I look down at you through watery eyes, again to find
That one last tear shaped particle lingers,
like a goodbye kiss...
Yet another moment is behind,
So I hold up my hand to align you with my iris
Because we are running out of time
And in a flash, the last of that sweet existence rolls through my fingers.

falling, I never imagined the end like this.
























plop....












And away you went... my childhood bliss.


The floor beneath me is stained now, in memory of you.
So I sit on the ground, colored with your ivory subtle blue
Humming the song you gave to me, I pretend you are singing too.
