Apocalypse

How do you escape?

"Smiling and silent dancing within the dark pouring acid rain

Your skin doesn't burn while you seem happy with no pain.

(Never)

Return to the bridge of tomorrow's sorrow

Wind riding and sea touching on the heart's arrow.

(Forget)

Running to the cataclysm with only love's note

A cycle of haste and hate only to cannon with hope.

(Those)

Who can blame this upheaval and drowning quietus 

Another road leads to unknown emptiness and rebus.

(Who)

Skeletonize the sadness and empty memories of the past

Drive forward with such necrotic emotions for they wont last.

(Remember)

Those who came so far and got nowhere in hell's hypnotic scheme

Turn the hands of time backwards and slowly drift into heaven's beam.

(You)

In the distant future I can only see mist and a single shadow

I hope it's this ghost walking free with no woe in this everlasting glow.

Thanks It took sometime to image only one left standing at the end of the world still believing in love when all is lost.

Beautifully put, I could feel the actions being played out as I read on. A very beautiful poem :)

Thanks I had to change it a bunch but the end was not working out so I changed it to the one who is reading it as they see it hoping that the other transcends out of the horror and into peace.
