Slipping away..

I was sand caged in a timer,
you came and rescued me,
gave my thirst some water,
gave me some clay.

I promised you could sculpt,
you shaped and molded me,
gave my eyes a vision,
gave me colors everyday.

I changed into a person,
you cherished and loved me,
gave my heart some healing,
gave me a voice to say.

You caressed me as my lover,
I worshiped and loved you,
gave your dreams a direction,
sometimes I made you a dossier.

You made me believe in love again
I supported and motivated you,
gave your questions reasons,
gave you emotions to portray.

We had moments together,
we had things to share,
we wanted to live united,
we never did betray.

But may be I got obsessed,
maybe I cribbed too long,
maybe I couldn't care enough,
somehow I caused you dismay.

Now you were like the sand,
I was clinging too much,
either I drove you far,
or you simply slipped away.
