A Moment

I just need a moment
To be by myself
And sort through all this
Turmoil.

I beg your pardon.
Do not assume that
I am turning my back on
My promise to you.
I will leave for one solitary minute,

I just need to think.

I am being swept away
Down an unnamed river
Pulled under by questions
That flood my weary mind.

I'm sorry,
I just... I need...

I just need to think.
