The time passes by me alone,
as kept upon the metronome.
There is a small corner of my
room, surrounded complete in fading
gloom. I as of now, seek out no more.
It's all passing along, and I will endure.
I can seek and then find, or find
in not seeking. Like a handful of sand,
all my memories seeping. It feels as
though I am buried, in a blizzard of my
bitter mistakes. I try to dig out of this avalanche,
beating low odds, and winning high stakes.
I see friendly faces pass by me,and recall
conversations from yore. Love deep and
true seems beyond reach, like
waves falling away from the shore.
The reverberation moves away quickly,
like the change of a smile to
a frown. Then in justified brevity,
my sole company,begins winding down.

Good use of alliteration in this line -
"I am buried, in a blizzard of my
bitter mistakes."
