The Passage of Time (... So Long, I Cannot Breathe)
© 1999 G.J. Griffin

You look at me as if I'm dirty
The insignificance of how I feel
Makes me stumble
... For words

I feel your power over me
I feel you tower over me
The passage of time

I cannot breathe
I cannot leave
The passage of time

I settle into hopelessness
My universe ends at my skin
I find it hard to fit in

Why are they looking this way
No one should be (so) alone
... so long

I cannot breathe
I cannot leave
The passage of time
