Could you wait a moment
Before you strip me of my things
And the life I’ve given birth too?

Could you wait a moment
Before you take my dignity,
Feeding lies that I’ll succumb too?

Could you wait a moment
Just let me weep first
For the things I’ll never try.

Could you wait a moment
Just let me hope to
Be the first one of us to die.
