Two seconds

Faster, Faster, I'm almost out of time.
Finals next week, can go without much sleep.
Just two seconds, that's all it would have took.
Just two, to stop the crash. My world it shook.
Tears, pain, pills, and blame that will never end.
One helmet, left behind, for want of two
seconds to get ahead. Time almost stops,
The grate creeps near, and then everything drops.
The life I had is gone, I do not mourn.
For love gained is stronger than any pain.
