Luisa Herrmann Poet I do not know?

Once Upon a Timer

If we had fifty seconds to live
what would you tell me?

Would you use me as a vessel of confessions
or would you tell me things you once wished only I knew
Would you cry to your aunt,
apologizing for not kissing her last Thanksgiving?
Or would you apologize to me,
for crushing my heart a million years ago?

Would you scream and beg for more time
Or would you hold my hand
convince me that you are happy to die by my side?
Would you kiss me for lust in your final moments 
or would you give me time to empty my soul

Would you lie
and say you always have loved me?

I guess I'll never know
I have much more 
than fifty seconds.
I have the rest of my life
to fight the memory of you.
