Give Me a Moment

This poem was inspired by the events of my life this summer.  This message is what I've been trying to come up with since then, and I finally have it.  I hope you enjoy it, because I didn't.  Every minute I spent writing this was filled with bittersweet pain -- not so much because I wrote this in a time of sorrow, but more because of all of the memories it brought back.  Anyway, here's "Give Me a Moment," the latest poem from Mortimer's Murmurs.
-Jacob

Give me a moment,
I'm not sure what to say
Give me a moment
To tell you it's okay

Give me a second,
One more is all I ask
Give me a second,
I haven't finished my task

Give me a minute,
It's not time to part
Give me a minute,
Before we break our hearts

Give me an instant,
The length of a sigh
Give me an instant
To remember tonight

Give me tomorrow,
I'll make you happy
Give me tomorrow,
It's worth it, you'll see

Give me forever,
I won't let you down
Give me forever,
Like you've given me now
