One minute...

One Minute - competition

Here I am.
I’m sitting on your bed.
All is now silent...
I find myself wondering why.
We were laughing,
Those small moments ago...
Laughing... smiling...
Now I realise.
That smile...
All that once
Seamed harmless,
Now,
The meanings change.
Closer... closer...
Your eyes, so wide...
So nervous...
Cracks in your lips,
I watch them tremble.
Too late.
Your breath tickles my neck,
A kiss upon my lips.
One minute.
All has now changed..
Innocence be gone.
What ever happened...
To ‘just friends’?
All is ruined,
Our friendship falls,
Knocked...
From its delicate balance,
By the force of this
Unexpected kiss.
One minute.
How did it come to this?

Just One Minute

Bitter cold.
Ice forming on stray hair,
Falling from your hair tie.
Your head lays in my hands,
My heart in yours.
No feeling...
You sigh... your lips part
Just a fraction
Is that a tear I spy?
Or is it mine,
Falling from my orbs
Onto china doll cheeks.
No matter.
Red blood seeps through
Stains the denim of my jeans,
Oh my darling,
Do you not remember?
I told you already...
When your heart stops beating,
So will mine.
Do not fret.
I’ll meet you in heaven.
Thud, thud, thud...
Our hearts beat,
Perfect unison...
Calm yourself, honey...
Thud, thud, thud...
Just wait for the
Silence...

Theres always that one moment that alters the course of history
What if there was that one minute that wouldve changed everything?
A step that was missed
A piece of the puzzle that didnt quite fit
If someone had noticed could things be different?
If someone noticed the scars?
Would I have gotten help and chosen a totally different path?
Could my life have been filled with happiness and love,
Instead of anger and hate?
Maybe I would've put down the knife and later the gun
Then all those people would still be alive
And i wouldnt bear the scars I do
Both the physical and mental scars
I couldve been someone
Not just another statistic
If someone had spared just One Moment
Things couldve been different and so much better
But too late now...
I'm dead
