Three minutes

My life seems to be

Split in present and past
There's no real future
I can dream of now
Cause seconds are ticking
And people are watching
How waves take me deeper
Away from my vow.

I wish sweeter memories
Would flood out the thoughts
That keep me awake
In loss and despair
I wish i could smile
And keep my eys shut
I wish i could breath in
Your fragrance, your air.

One minute is gone
Along with my hope
I couldn't care less
I can't breath
You'd think my repentance
Would make me grow whole
But parts make a mess
Underneath.

I only have seconds

To miss you once more

And only the water aside.

Now, please read the story

You wrote in my heart

And then let sweet death

Be my guide.

For someday I'll truly

Come back, live again

When tears won't be shed

On your face.

When hearts, minds

And souls

Will hope once again

To clutch at past heaven's

Embrace.

Believe not my words,

But heartbeat and love

And trust not the smiles

Of a fool.

You look underneath

To what's hidden between

Thinner lines of pure truth

And the shreds of my skin

Then you'll see how it's great

How it's pure, true, still cruel

Still afar, far above

With no reason or fuel

But the hope of your kiss...

That's three minutes of duel.

Being dead ain't so cool

While love is.
