Hold Me

I want to hold you till the world ends just to make peace with it

I know the time is coming, but I haven’t found a grave deep enough for our regrets yet

I’ve been hanging on, scrapbooking our broken pieces 

But the tatters of remorse aren’t enough to reconstruct us as the world ceases 

There’s no more time left now to pivot 

I don’t know if I can live with it 

I hear the sirens on the horizon 

I feel the ground shaking, the cries and-

When it mattered then, I wish someone would’ve told me 

All that matters now is that you’re not here to hold me 

This can’t be how it ends 

With a red sky 

And no goodbye 

Just bones and dust left where our hearts should’ve been

And no more time left to start again
