"Maggie"

“Maggie"
By: Beth Baber

I will wait for you, will you wait for me?
Time, like water slips through your hands
I’m with you, but time means nothing
Time is not lacing us together
Only a boundary to keep us apart
Oceans growing in between us

Dividing the continents into fragments
They’re shattered; will you use your glue?
So they wouldn’t be separated by any human means.
Play pretend we’re not losing this game
I’m shattered, shattered
I hope you leave behind your glue.
