A moment turned to memory
a hideaway for you and me
where darkness can't come in to thieve
is where my heart holds you to keep.
For time slips in to bend and break,
the seconds fractured for the take
scattered in constant motion and haste
some too swift to seize or chase.
And despite my desperate, anxious grip
our time descends through fingertips
dissolving like embers, burning quick,
flame to ash in mind-bending trick.
Though not all is lost within the torn
for in the chaos, a haven born
Where all my love for you, Adored
will keep you safe forevermore.
