The Final Dance


My wrinkled fingers lace with yours And the final dance begins The atmosphere pulls us closer Our orchestra lights up within We lived a long life together, Never married Never felt so apart And after waiting so long Our two flesh will become one The ending was so slow Bending spacetime as I made you turn And everyone can hear the beat But it feels like there’s no one there It’s just you and me And the closer we are, The the closer we reach the end of our song While our dance was slow Our death was fast For when our two flesh became one Our organs didn’t last Bits and pieces of our heart falter Until we couldn’t take it anymore And we burst Waves of matter fly And we Well We died But knowing the possibility of a new world and a new life one day Has never felt so close Yet this black void looks far away
