Ten Minutes
by
Stephen Paul Coffey

Click, time starts now
I'm sorry for those hurtful things
I'm sorry we didn't do those things
I loved you more than you will ever know
That is why I had to let go
I'll remember you wherever I go
Loved you more than I could ever show
Nine minutes left, I have to say
I should never have killed you that day
Though my mental state was blanked by rage
You death was not on the front page
If I didn't do it someone else may
Then they would have to pay
For what I did to you
Snapped your spinal cord into two
I ask though I may not get
You forgiving me yet
Seven minutes, for the final time
Let me justify this life of mine
I couldn't tell anyone my true feelings
I didn't even know my own feelings
But to those who think I did them wrong
Six more minutes isn't that long
To the night, thanks for the shadows
The shadows I give back to you
Wishes go to the true one
Who was there all since I begun
I know now that time is nothing
Nothing more than a mortal thing.

Four minutes, it seems so very long
This is justified yet very long
Speak easy for the night time of mine comes closer
Closer, closer, closer
Two minutes, so many things left to say
I can't put them off another day
In this, the night time of my regrets
It doesn't seem hard to forget
The things I tried so hard to regret
Now I wish to forget all regrets
Ten seconds, the guns against my head
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0, bang, dead.
