New poem: Hourglass, thoughts?

Hourglass

Been fighting the hourglass

Its sands flowing too slowly for me

For it seems that I’m stuck in the past

With all of your beautiful memories

I smile with sun

But I cry with the moon

I can put on a good front

But I’m still not over you

Even though, I know you’re gone

Even though it’s made me strong

I can’t deny, it’s you I want

To hold between my arms.

Been fighting the hourglass

Its sands flowing too slowly for me

I just want to forget the past

And all of your beautiful memories

    Beautifully said. It rhyme and that makes it beautiful. So maybe you find yourself an angel and maybe you will want the sands to flow even slower hahaha....

    I think it's really good. I like the repetition in the first and last stanzas.
