Stop Pouring the Hourglass Down the Drain

Stop letting my hourglass go down the drain

Each grain of sand represents a piece of my life

You act childlike, not modeling your love to be Christ-like

So, stop pouring the sand from my hourglass down the drain

You treat me like a game of Call of Duty, I’m not just here for your entertainment

Stop pouring my hourglass down the drain, if you really want me to be your main

Childish soul, please let the thought of me be in the past

The hourglass is going fast, stop taking my oil to light up my lantern

This dance that we are doing is wasting the sand

Your words and actions make me scream and wrestle with myself at night

So please stop pouring the sand within my hourglass down the drain

I rather say goodbye than to let my thoughts go astray

I tried to rewrite a poem I wrote with more imagery. Here is the poem I reimagine: https://shopping-feedback.today/poets/stop-wasting-my-time%3C/a%3E%3C/p%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3Cstyle data-emotion-css="1x3zcuc-StoryContent">.css-1x3zcuc-StoryContent{pointer-events:none;}
