The ending had already begun

we ignored the warning chimes

versions of ourselves in motion

versions of ourselves in time

We blanketed the ache with warmth

the kindness, a cruel bluff

Scrambled for a fitting epitaph

knowing it would never be enough

I allowed myself to be blinded

by the low winter sun

knowing if I let myself turn away

that I would come undone

I listened to

your breathing

and it soothed me

even though I knew

this would be

the last time

Pale

Soft

And fading

Even

As

It shines

Pale

Soft

And fading

Even

As

It shines

Pale

Soft

And fading

Even

As

It shines

Pale

Soft

And fading

Even

As

It shines
