Searching in Time

By Zarifah Hossain

I’ve lost my sense of time

Being scared of this world we’ve created

Losing all the visions with perception

With this injured heart, you baited

A dream full of shattered hopes

With the reality of this cowering world

I try and hold onto this shielded robe

My burning spirit extinguished like a candlelight

What is it that I am searching for?

For what reason am I holding onto it?

Our wounded time which we tore

Now all that's left is to search the untruth

I search for that hand you once held out

In this unceasing loop of despair

Cuz with time does come change

As that tiny flame burns with a dare
