Melting Hours
By: DrippingTime
i remember the time
when you lost a shoe
in the quick of the mud
by the creek
we escaped through
we felt fate
right behind us
its breath
hot on our skin
i wanted to drown but
you said you could swim
we held hands
and we ran
through the trees
and high grass
we watched
the slow drip of time,
puddle what's yet
into what has
the frightened beasts
in the distance
kept us
weary of the storm
that's followed close
behind us
since our
forbidden love
was born
the clouds seemed to
bleed across the sky,
swept strong in
the heavy winds
nearing thunder
hid our passion cries
but the lightning
exposed our sin
it(time) acted like a hunter
and so our love was prey
we crept through forest by moonlight
we slept hidden from the day
now i grieve in silence
i watch the stars above
where ive placed my heart
til im reuninted
with my love
