A love I could never quite grasp
Always out of reach
Sordid tricks you often did teach

Increasingly grow so cold
Minutes and hours did slowly go by
I missed you madly, I can not lie
A story yet told could never unfold
As the grains of sand flowed dry

A Ghost From My Past

You were a ghost from my past
A love I could never quite grasp
Always out of reach
Sordid tricks you often did teach
How could a love so bold
Increasingly grow so cold
Minutes and hours did slowly go by
I missed you madly, I can not lie
A story yet told could never unfold
As the grains of sand flowed dry
So did the love between you and I

//"A story yet told could never unfold"...//

I love that line, and the ending is strong. Keep it up!

I/'/d have to say my favourite lines were

"As the grains of sand flowed dry
So did the love between you and I"
It really does emphasise how love can go from being a blazing fire to just ash.
Well written.

You have reminded me that love cannot be captured, caged, owned, held, or compelled, and as you point out, the harder we try, the more it eludes us.
Sand is a wonderful analogy of how love can slip between our hopeful clenched fingers.
I like this, James.

Thanks for putting it all on the line here.
As a poster wrote, I also can relate, though that feeling you so well describe is only an echo from another life, from another incarnation of me long buried.
