"Five Minutes"
It takes five minutes for me to open up
Just five...
All I needed was five
1- to be shy
And pretend I was fine
2- to start to open up
To ask questions
Use my natural instinct to ask why
3- to be myself
Open to questions
4- to start shouting
To be mad at you and everything else
and at five
Hopefully you would be holding me
And hugging me
And saying you were sorry
For all those empty nights
Where I was broken and feeling abandoned
Where pain and sadness almost felt normal
And longing was filled with hurt
And anger and hatred
But you left me in the dark
I was groping around
I had so many questions
But you made me blind to everything
I couldn't see a foot in front of me
All beauty was hidden till there was no reason
to live anymore
And blinded I walked off the edge of the cliff
And I fell
Still blind wishing I could see
Still blind wishing I could dream
like a normal child
Still blind hoping you would come and save me.
But you didn't
And I wish
I could say that you gave me the five minutes I needed
To open up
And maybe things would have been different
I just needed five
1- to be shy
And pretend I was fine
2- to start to open up
To ask questions
Use my natural instinct to ask why
3- to be myself
Open to questions
4- to start shouting
To be mad at you and everything else
and at five
Hopefully you would be holding me
And hugging me
And saying you were sorry.
But you weren't
So maybe if I could have seen a bit further
Reached a little farther
Set my limits a little higher
If I could have read the future
Seen how many people were sorry I'd left
Maybe I would have rethought it
Maybe if you had come a bit earlier
Hugged me a bit sooner
Held me when I wasn't broken, bloodied, and dead
Maybe things would be DIFFERENT
In my last moments I counted
1
2
3
4
5
It took me five seconds to end my life
And it would have taken you five minutes to save it
Hey guys, this was originally going to be a one-shot. I may continue it if you review*hint, hint*
