Counting The Seconds Poem by Anonymus Girl

Counting The Seconds



I don't want to close my eyes tonight
Don't want to move in case I forget
You were here two seconds ago
And our love, You didn't regret

Tonight I need to stay inside
Lying in the heap of things you left behind
Now it's been five seconds since you left
I know it's your eyes I need to find

If I look into them maybe I will see
The reason I still long for you
Or I can just wander in my own thoughts
What else am I supposed to do?

If I move one little inch
Our history could suddenly erase
And I don't think anyone else would care
That you wouldn't remember my face

Without you I am so alone
Because I can still feel you here
Lying with me, in this heap on the floor
And its then I realise, it isn't fair

Fifteen seconds since you left
Now I feel I can move again
But I'm scared that if I try to
I'll be able to feel all the pain

I know I'm only counting the seconds
Because it makes me feel all right
Until I remember what it is I'm counting
It's been twenty seconds since you walked into the night.

I can hear the music from your ipod
Which is lying beside me on the heap
Songs just make me cry even more
Because this is yours, it makes my heart leap

Twenty five seconds, now I can feel the slight breeze
You left the door open, just a tiny little bit
And I wonder if it was a note
Suddenly its as if our candle has been re-lit

You said the door would always be open
Does that also mean your heart will always beat for me?
Because I'll still be lying here on this heap
Until I know for sure it won't hurt to move, and that you can set me free
