Six minutes of silence
      Counting seconds from the floor tiles
      Bathtub edge is a cold seat

       Can six minutes make you oh so sad?
       That you would look away from me, and the mirror
       Because the back of my head is there

        I turn and reach for now it’s seven
        And you once said let’s never leave angry
        But by eight you’ve been gone forever
