A Matter Of Seconds

Writings From The Unknown13

alot of things can happen in 3 seconds,

for example your heart can drop in an instant,

a tear can fall down your face...

and anger can take control of your conscience.

it can take only a matter of seconds.

a matter of seconds before you lose yourself..

before you lose everything...

even before you lose the urge for music.

people say they could never go a day without music...

ive said it to but there will come a day where you will get too hurt..

too hurt to even listen to a single note...

let alone a song.

it may take a few days to be able to listen to music again..

but it only takes a matter of seconds to get hurt.

a moment doesnt last forever..

once its done its gone.

no matter how much you try to relive it...

it will never feel the same.

every second in a minute counts,

every minute in an hour counts,

every hour in a day counts,

every day in a month counts,

every month in a year counts...

and every year in your life can never be done over again.

so its your decision to make it count.

3 seconds is all it takes to break,

to make..

to fall..

to fly..

to fail..

and to sail.

a matter of seconds is all it takes.

it can only take 3 seconds for your world to crumble.

it can take 3 seconds to realize whos not worth it anymore.

it can take only a matter of seconds to have more than a million flashbacks all at once.

it can take an instant to realize your broken inside.

it can only take a matter of seconds for my walls to break down..

with me and with my heart.

it can only take a matter of seconds

    I love this piece. My word you covered a lot of ground and i lived every bit of it in your words.
    Really excellent and goes into my fav's. (please have a look at some of my older stuff, love poems and fantasy from last year\).

    This is one of the few poems I've read where centering it really aided the message and flow. Well writ.
