Hourglass

by Lydian Beck

You told me you felt just like an hourglass
Grain by grain
I watched you slipping
"Won't you turn me over, baby?"
You whispered
I should have listened
But it was too late
And you ran out of time

*STELLAR* poem! (I love the metaphorical expressionists)

Great work Lydian. So much impact for such a small poem. Congrats on POTD!
