As time is nothing

As time is nothing, but tide that rises after what follow

As I am nothing, but what’s left after you swallow

I am a word that fled your mouth; a thought resentfully shallow

I flutter and sparkle and shine and flatter

I am something that easily pass your mind and matter

make you think about things twice, but decide

‘No, with the direction I chose, after all, I am satisfied.’

Leave me alone with my fear and desires

Love is but a thing that expire

Don’t hold me dear like you once did

That was the only thing pure and, after all, dignified

Of all we kept close and hid

Of all the truths that made us liars

Of all dreams that fled those nights

Nothing could have taken me higher

Than the calm wind, the breath from your chest

Soothing down the back of my neck

Playing on the wildest of fires
