Say what you wish, now we're alone
inside our common dread.
I will not speak to criticise, for time we squeeze
between warm palms must not slip free
to run like sands through clapping hands,
hot with praise and swollen red.
I say so little anymore,
of consequence or worth,
since youth bowed out, exit stage left,
and credence left on cue,
this play has gone from bad to worse.

Hi, Tom, I think I'd prefer it without the "for" on L2. I don't see the need for the commas on L7 & 8.
