My hand could not grip, 
not tight enough 
to bring you 
from the edge, 
looking down 
into despair 
your eyes always 
betrayed your pain, 
eyes no longer 
willing to cry, 
a heart already far broken 
it could not even 
cast a shadow 
you have crossed over 
into realms so deep, 
you haunt my dreams 
begging for light, 
but as I breathe fire 
to shine your way 
you disappear 
I stand near 
that chasm, 
and whisper my adieus, 
hoping that some soft wind 
shall carry an image 
of my broken heart 
down to you

Time not enough
