The Residue

Time stopped by at my window declaring out loud,
said, I am now rich with a possession I would never own.
Was ideally professed to live, make love, laugh, cry and frown,
until Time decides to be my guest and sit on its cocky throne.
Dusk to dawn; over and over, I hosted a feast of my roasted skin,
pinned to the window, I was torched while Time devoured all.
Incapacitated in the vicious loop, hiding under the light so dim,
yet, the sun leached through my pores numbing every bawl.
I sat connecting every little bright dot straining through the mesh,
running through each vein satiated with freedom thirsty blood.
Embracing some moments of happiness for I was alive and fresh,
while ripped through some that made my deepest desires flood.
Ashen face, scaly skin, hollow bones, the feast had ended for Time,
As I lay down watching the moon light peep with a deep blue hue,
I started counting, one breath, two heartbeats, three stars and a last smile
and there was Time, laughing at the window till it choked over my residue.
