ALMOST

I was just about to grasp it,
But as I extended my arms,
In a blink it's gone far.

My open hands were left hanged in the air,
Fingers widely spread gradually moved closer to each other,
I clasped them to my chest as my palms felt empty.

My heart broke as it sensed frustrations from my tightly closed empty hands.

My eyes automatically shut their lids, hard,  as bitter tears tried to escape down to my face.

My teeth bit my lips as they trembled holding back the cry of anguish that my heart is screaming loudly in silence...

in pain...
in sorrow...
in misery..

I was left lost in the darkness as the thick dark clouds creeped in and savour it all,
I gasped in hopelessness as I watched it vanished,
Till it's all nowhere to be found.

I had it...ALMOST.
