The Last Stand

.01

The world has broken down.

The streets are filled with broken glass and open doors give way to empty homes that are no longer homes.

Once great monuments, memorials of different times stand broken with jagged peaks piercing the sky.

The dark gray sky where the sun never shines.

The two of us existing here, together in being alone.

Still we dance a dangerous dance in fear of getting too close.

I dodge your bullet before you shoot. You step back as I step here. And still we dance, a dance of fear.

But the music will not last. The rhythm we play won’t go this fast.

When time runs out we’ll stand in the clear. You’ll look at me with no more fear.

There is nothing but us, standing here.

We stand in the dark, surrounded by fear. It still can’t touch us, we’re barely here.

In the dark before the dawn, the final dance released from fear.

The music slows, and comes to a stop. This world we have been won’t come to pass.

The ground we stand on turns to ash. We both knew we would not last.

All we are is bullets.
