I knew I would need help soon,
I sent a letter to you at noon
Telling you to bring my heart too
But you delated and thought me a fool

Desperately, I needed to end this
Kept staring at the things that would get me over the bar
Though you needed me or so I thought

I slept to pass time rill you get to me
I supposed you were too busy for me
Though I wandered, why this day?

Just when I set out to execute my plan
You had the urge to get to me
Still pondering, either or neither
Already was I building my stage

I did it just when you came
When I saw you I wanted to let go
But it was too late
I tied it a little too tight

As you reached out to get to me,
I tried telling you, I still and would always love you
But just as I tried, harder it became
And I watched you struggle endlessly

At the last moment
You untied the rope
And as you did, a tear fell down my cheeks
I was too gone to finish shedding those tears

Now I'm here with no one to behold
Not even a pen or paper to behold
I would do what I love the most
Of course, besides you my dear beloved

I could keep on writing about our last minute
Without me getting out of words
And each piece not the same
I had a lot to say that day
But only if you came a minute earlier

If you had come a minute early
I could have told you how much I needed to go
You would of course have begged me to stay
Though you made me feel worthless in dismay

If you came a minute earlier,
I would have had a minute to look at you and perhaps change my mind
But you chose to delay, now you wish I'd stay

You ignored me just when I needed you most
and now I'm so gone, never coming back
I might have gone the same minute I left
If you came hours earlier

But maybe God would have had a change of mind and let me be
You delayed, denied me access to my heart
Just once more
Now I'd be needing it no more

So keep it will you? Safely I plead
We're apart but keep it, just do
Pending the time you'd get a new love
And when you do, bury it right there in your heart

I know you might not feel the way I do
Maybe a little bit more or mostly less
Probably nothing at all
But keep this piece safe

It was written with my blood
And that's why it'll never get dry

I do not mean to impose blames
If only you dropped your ego
And let go
I'd Still be here

I have to deal each second  the pain of watching our love fail me
And since there's no passing of time here,
Each day's the exact same day

I'd stay here longer and re-feel the pain
Over and over again

You ignored,
Delayed and denied me access to my heart
But if you weren't a minute late
I would still be there loving you

Now I stay here shedding endlessly the tears I couldn't finish
Though I wish to shed them in your arms
You killed me
