Five More Minutes

                             Five more minutes 

                             Is my only request. 

                           Just give me five more. 

                                "For What?" 

                                  You say, 

                  And stare at me with an unforgiving glance. 

                         I lower my head meekly and 

                               Softly mutter... 

                            Five more minutes to 

                             Prove I am worthy. 

                             To try and patch the 

                              hole I have made. 

                              To mend the scab 

                                 I've picked. 

                                To apologize 

                                  and plea 

                                  and beg 

                            for your forgiveness. 

                              Could you spare 

                             Five more minutes, 

                                  For me?
