End of Days

Sing until the lilt in your voice matches the guilt of your choice and then take a bow for the crowd, breaking your vow. 

Aren't you so proud? 

Now pound for pound we hit the ground without a sound and all you had to do was stay. Stay as I pray for air while you dare to stare. Stare as I bare my all but you won't fall. 

Not when you run and hide from my sun and tide. Not when I wait and see if your hate will love me.

Author's Note

I wrote this a while back, sort of knowing my relationship would end. It did. And it's been as though my world has been slowly burning away because I truly believed in us. Ah well. Such is life, no?

I read it maybe three times before it hit me. It's good, and strong and meaningful. Keep exploring and writing. Thanks for sharing it.

[Hello, Goodbye]

Great usage of rhythm and flow with the narrative stream of consciousness. Solid usage of brevity to deliver the poignant despondent message.
