20 seconds

20 seconds

A Poem by ZmH

the second hand slows, a minute per beat
my heart barely pumping
it becomes hard to breathe
anticipation, making a fool of me
the minute hand hurts
the second hand kills
each moment living
my throat shrill
close to a scream
but barely a screech
my heart grows weak
20 seconds to kill
