My one wish was just for more time.
Blood shot eyes
stare at you.
Mine.

Tears stain my cheeks
caress my face.
Roll to my lips,
the feeling, anything
but bliss.

A wish is whispered
and nearly missed.
Mine.

I have no time
to cry.
Strength escapes me
like the mist
which escapes the morning sun.

A crime.
My grandfather loses time.
I wished for more.
The wish was mine.
