Lifetime

As if all the solitude around me suddenly burst, into a world where you and I rehearse, the lines we must say to keep each other going. Where the only thunder we can hear is our hearts beating, silently competing, defeating the fact that we’re steadily cheating, to keep the lie away that this moment will last forever. And as we debate that one day it will end, we pretend to live a life where we defend, ourselves against the people we befriend, where all I do is constantly offend, you. And as I get on my knees to pray to a god I don’t believe, I quietly tell myself I’m wrong for all I've done. Before I get up and leave, I thoroughly perceive, life, as it is, before I’m gone.
