Three Seconds

13/04/2025

Walking dead for 13 weeks

Going through the motions

Through me invisible red leaking

Existing but not really breathing

Till my eyes met yours

For 3 seconds, it’s all it took

For all life to return back to me

All it took was 1 breathtaking look

Losing you meant losing my heart

I could survive, I could fight

Between me and my mind, falling apart

Nothing, anymore, felt quite right

Running around in circles

Holding it all together

Holding on to our tether

Searching for any oracles

Till your eyes I finally found

You stared into the soul I forgot I had

Walking towards a grave you turned me back around

Your grip on me is ironclad
