The Moment Is Gone
Millie Grace


The clock
Just blinked its tired face
A ghost of seconds
Lost in space
I reached
I missed
It slipped away
The moment is gone
It's gone
It's gone
Like whispers caught in a breaking dawn
I held it tight
But not for long
The moment is gone
Your shadow stretched
Then faded thin
The echoes quieted deep within
I spoke
But silence answered back
Time's a thief in disguise
Stealing with no alibis
The moment is gone
It's gone
It's gone
Like raindrops swallowed by the lawn
I tried to hold
But it was wrong
The moment is gone
Did you feel it slip like sand?
Out of reach
Out of hand
A breath exhaled
A bird in flight
Lost between the day and night
