One second you are
The next second you’re not.
One second it is
The next second it’s naught.
One second you will
The next second you won’t.
One second you do
The next second you don’t.

One second it seems
The next second it doesn’t.
One second it was
The next second it wasn’t.
One second you think
The next second you’re wrong.
One second you’re here
The next second you’re gone.

One second goes by
The next second comes.
One second you feel
The next second you’re numb.
One second we have
The next second we don’t.
One second to live
Til the next second comes.
