15 minutes
A lot could happen in just 15 minutes
A life could begin
Or taken away in a matter of 15 minutes
The clock ticks away unstoppable
As the grains of sand fall
From the hour-glass glued to the table
What would you do;
If you had only 15 minutes to live?
Would you fall in love?
Dance in the rain?
Kiss under the moons light
Or be taken over by the sea?
What if you knew you were 15 heartbeats away from darkness?
If every breath you took brought you closer to life after death?
Well that's just the thing isn't it?
The cold, hard truth
We're dying
With every sweet merciful breath our fragile bodies take
Truth is
Life, happens, in 15 minutes
You never will know
When your last 15 minutes will begin to countdown
But then again,
Who would want to know?
