Enclose

Feelings shut tight,
compress not to show,
confess not to say,
condemn i turn to be.

i try to be strong,
change my heart from stone to diamond,
yet it still shaters,
in the midst of your presence.

i want to be strong,
not to fall deeper,
yet no rope i could grab hold,
but to fall even faster.

as moment flies,
times we spent,
get lesser each day,
and each minute is precious.

time passes like water,
that flows in a river,
so let it freeze,
and let seconds tick longer.
