Stars
Gaseous balls of flame
Heat and danger
That's what you are
Danger
Not your middle name but you're calling
The boy next isn't your attitude
It's your way of life
Your behavior varies on the things you damage
From vandalizing walls and lockers
To breaking alas and breaking hearts
The boy next door is you
Or was it?
You fall deathly ill and I'm the only thing beside you
No flowers in vases or stuffed love and cheesy messages in animals
Me, barely breathing, me
I'm your only visitor
The hands of time are tick tick ticking away as your days shorten
You become a more salty you, mind frizzle and frazzled
Forgetting who I am and can't remember where you are
As our days are numbered, becoming forgetful and hard to breatheI stand by your side, frail hands in my plump, heavy ones
Every second in the last days of your life passes by
The last breaths you take are riding shot gun in Death's hearse
Our oblivion is becoming closer and sooner
As the race of life takes its final life
The stars are becoming us
Gaseous balls of heat and dust
Soaring into the dark of night with Angels
The beating of your heart stills...Your raspy breathing silenced.....The clock stopped ticking and tocking.....
I'm not that far away from being where you are
I just hope your waiting for me
Just like I waited for you too
