The Hourglass

I had you last night. You were right... here! In front of my eyes and in my arms. But I didn't see the last grains of sand slipping into the bottom of the hourglass. Time was stealing you away from me. And I choked. I knew what I wanted to tell you, what you needed to hear. But I choked! How suddenly you left me on this Earth, mortal and alone, in love with your ghost.

It is sad we cannot say.
What we wish on a given day.
Then opportunity just slips away.
And thus ourselves betray.
Thank you kindly for your thoughts

Well written with descriptive metaphors.
