For her

 

 

I lay with you at night, letting the dark envelop us as we discuss;

 

Possibilities of all things and any things

Terrible things and things so beautiful it pulls at your soul..

 

..much like the same feeling I get when you kiss me

Or when you look at me, and your eyes burn into my head with a passion so intense every star in the sky pales in comparison 

 

I let your anxieties wash over me

I try my best to cleanse them

But even when I can't

I hold you close 

And I whisper in your ear

I'll tell you anything you could ever wanna know

 

I'll give you a sense of who I am

And I'll take in everything that you are

 

I need to warn you I'm a disaster

I'm a train wreck 

I'm a pile-up on the highway; and you should just keep driving

 

You have to understand that my mind is anarchic 

Much like the way I live my life

But with you I know I can control it

I'll slip off the edge of the world with you

Disappear into space in a way no one could retrieve us

I'll go wherever you want too 

I'll follow through any and every version of Hell with you; 

The furthest reaches and darkest corners 

And I'll speak nothing more than a whisper, every now and again

So that you know I still care 

No matter what we go through...

...as long as I can share the abyss with you

 

It seems to me

We're a generation born into broken lands, and the false ideals of fallen men

We are the generation watching the world crumble before our eyes 

We were the last generation taught the wise ways of respect, and still, hate flew rampant over our claimed to be respected lands

 

But it doesn't matter what they say

 

Their cities could fall to the ground

Demons could rise from the Earth, and bleed out their hopes and prayers onto the concrete

 

Economies could collapse, world leaders could retreat to their bunkers

Communications blackouts and travel restrictions abound

Plagues could spread rapidly

Nuclear radiation could rot us in our fleshy graves

 

But I know that no matter what they do

There's nothing in this world, that could make me take my eyes off of you
