Two Minutes

Anu

In my dresser
a pile of snapshots
Don’t look too closely
They faked them all

Climbed from the wreckage
No hero’s journey
I wore a new name
Nobody noticed

Live long enough and
all your cells get replaced
Doesn’t that make you
Somebody new?

Looking for answers
Answers to questions
Questions of living
Loving and dying

If I could show you
All of what I’ve seen
You would wonder
At it all

All of those memories
I bequeath thee
Hold them closely
Take them all

Burn so brightly
But not to last
I see the end now
It’s coming fast

Just a few minutes
Is all that’s left me
I want more time
I want more
