Faces young, bodies able
time slipping past by the second,
faster with every moment.
years pass, time slows
living by the day.
Every moment lived is
savored to the fullest.
skin like crinkled paper
numbered days
how many remain?
the breath dies on your lips
heart stopping,
melting to a consuming sleep.
Where will you go next?
