Give me ten minutes

Lay beside me
like you've wanted to
and hoped you would
since you owned me.

Stay your heartache
where it is
where it has always been
to hurt another.

Embrace the lie
that we were
never meant to be
close enough to touch.

Don't wrap your heart
around another disappointment
when life has offered
a warmer hand.

Your feet are cold
but mine are not
and soon yours
won't be either.

Don't surrender to fear
that a lie of disappointment
can inprison your warm viens
into icy wastelands.

Break free of what
poisons your beauty
and escape to a place
where you can kiss me.

I hope she gave you the ten minutes. How could she not?
