Can I just have a minute?
Can I just have a minute?
Yet another minute drives by,
Someone told another lie.
So why are you so dry?
It makes me want to die,
But I still stand here whilst you fly.
Making me want to cry,
Express all the sighs.
Yet you will not give me a sign
So, this is my last goodbye.
No matter how hard you try,
I will always have a good eye
No matter how busy I am in my mind
No matter the colour of the sky
I will always try
It is impossible for us both to fly
At the same time.
I would carry knives
Just so you could not die,
Or so I could.
But I know you would
Would stop me from taking down my hood,
To see my blood.
No matter how deep the flood,
I wish I would.
Would tear down my childhood
Even if it was no good.
Just to see what made me good.
Yet have such bad blood
Maybe because of how my blood runs cold.
I know I can be bold
But now the story of the old
Has been untold.
You may want to make me uphold,
But you cannot make my skin unfold.
You cannot force me to be silent in a choke hold.
I will refold the unfolded.
I may seem as dull as black gold,
But you won’t stay as pure as you told.
You too will turn ice cold.
Love may seem uncontrolled,
But in your hands its oversold.
Just like a trend.
A trend never stays,
It may make others daze
But you will not ever get praised
Like a stray.
You may be as bright as the day
But you will not be peaceful whilst you lay
You will be stranded on the bay,
And melt like clay.
You do not mean what you say
A minute turns into a day
So, I will not listen to what you say.
After all you buy too many pinots
So cannot I just have a minute.
