Sands of Time

Things happen faster than the eye,
So much so that we don't know why
Life ends up like sand falling from the sky.

The sand burns you up
With so much heat you cannot withstand
That it gives you a wasted soul,
And a heart that long has died.

The sand runs out and you cannot get it back:
It slips through your fingers
As it soars to the sky.

Life is hard with mistakes all around
Though we didn't really mean to
What's happened.. has.

Our memories are what's left
Of the happy and terrible times.
Though there may not be a reason..
These are out of our hands.

So instead look ahead and enjoy
The little time we have
For the past will not come back,
The dead will not revive.
Mistakes cannot be redone
And the love you left is forever.. gone.
