Lost Moments

a veneer of blur
 dropped unceremoniously 
on a sea of strange faces
awake but 
a dream
in a dream
of a dream 
I dared to dream 
stumbling footsteps
breathing reluctant 
searching for a face
amongst faces I can't see
I sense its coming 
the absence of knowing 
black void swallowing time
  can
       hear 
             my 
                 sanity
fall through the cracks 
a dark comes 
to claim its time 
as these words fill a page 
a screen
I wonder if regret 
will be for time lost 
or what was done 
how many hours 
will I lose this time 
if only 
if only I could
find that face 
her face 
her
face
her
maybe it's too late...
