Slipping away like sand between my fingers
Sometimes you want to hold something so tight, it is precious to you beyond anything else and you grip so hard it hurts. But the tighter you grip, the bigger the gaps between your fingers and just like the sand on a beach, the grains run out to be lost in the breeze.
Someone i care about deeply is slipping away and the harder i grip, the faster they go.
Utterly helpless, totally useless. Impotent and alone i sit here and pray that the phonecall i never want to get will not be flashing up on that little screen tomorrow. The call to say that all the sand is gone and to say goodbye, they they have lost the fragile grip on the world and want out.
Sometimes words simply are not enough and i wish i could email a hug.
Stay strong.
