1 Minute, 2 Minute, 3 Minute, 4

August 14, 2020

1 minute, 2 minute, 3 minute , 4

These numbers trapping me forever within a dimension

I didn't ask for it to take me but it came for me anyways

With full force it grabbed me and whispered in my ear

The hairs on my arm stood up and my heart beat harder

I didn't ask for it to take me but it came for me anyways

My feet started moving and my thoughts wouldn't stop

1 minute, 2 minute, 3 minute, 4

My hands grew sweaty and my face felt its heat

And though I tried to escape, it kept me within its reach

I didn't ask for it to take me but it came for me anyways

After it was all over, I could feel its breath upon my neck

And all I could here from within was my heart going

1 minute, 2 minute, 3 minute, 4

So I took a seat and sighed and clutched my hand upon my chest

I looked at it and it looked back

I never asked for it to take me yet it took me anyways
