Has time ever slipped from your hands

Dripped, and floated away

When it felt like it had just begun

That you would never see the setting sun
----

Anothe decade gone by so fast

Streets and houses are now empty shells

Ghosts of street vendors and broken cars

Left has the splendor, remaining is scars
----

Bitter taste of cherry guava

Crumbling pieces of parchment

Tingling sensations of a sneeze

Old champagne bubbles that still fizz
----

Time has slipped down the hourglass

Memories lost have caused treason

Sensitive hearts no longer breath

And open innocent wounds still seethe
----
