Slipping Away and Breaking Apart

It falls as a steady stream,

It kisses my skin smoothly,

It falls through my fingers,

It breaks apart,

Left with millions of pieces.

The relaxed feeling,

The stress melted away,

My heart filling with love and joy.

Though I feel it slipping away from me,

I long for this feeling to last forever,

Never wanting to let go.

I feel my happiness slipping away,

Slipping through my fingers,

Breaking as it falls down.

I’m left with sorrow,

No joy left in my body,

Just emptiness.

I stand still as I watch,

Watching it slip away from me,

While it leaves me feeling empty,

Alone and hallow and depressed.

My joy and happiness,

It has come and gone,

As it leaves I wait,

Wait for joy and love.

I wait for the feeling of love and joy,

To fill my soul and heart,

For a smile to appear on my face.

I wait as I watch it all slip,

Slip through my fingers,

Break away into billions of particles,

Millions of pieces.
