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 knowBecause I have much more timethan fifty seconds. I have the rest of my life to fight the memory of you.

The 3rd line from the end seems like you've put a couple of lines together (just an editing error I'm sure). Thank you for sharing!
