time is still passing freely
see she never stops for anyone
i’ve met her
she’s unstoppable
only thing that drives her is the fact that her only task is to keep passing
she doesn’t think about anything other than running
leaving in her wake
friendships, family and love
all worn out
teared down from each corner
graves of lovers and remains of sisters
all now dust chasing her by the heels
they want her to wait
they beg, they plead, they scream
but she’s been programmed to not hear
she doesn’t know when she started or if she will ever stop
but it’s all the same to her
she will pass
don’t ask her to wait, i’ve already tried
she spoke with a whisper and her words left behind tears
tears falling and soaking my t-shirt
she’s met death before
death feels pain
he is the epitome of misery
his hands heavy from all the souls he carries around
he never has to pull the trigger
they fall at his feet
he picks up each one
one by one
throws them over his shoulders and drags his feet forward
he too like time doesn’t know where he ends
however he remembers when he started
the first soul he had to carry away
the first soul he sat with and explained what must happen next
he cried tears he didn’t know existed within him
that day he had to accept his truth
truth was his love
she left behind traces of secrets on his lips
her scent lingering
her fingers so close yet so far
how could it be she was gone?
she was sweet but bitter
only sometimes leaving behind the taste of lovers
other times making eyes tear from the smell of disbelief
death loved her bc she wasn’t liked by everyone
maybe that was his favourite trait about her
together they caused mountains of fire
they were the perfect combination
they didn’t belong together
but somehow always ended up with one another
their fates forever set in stone
she watches him collect and grow heavy
never resting
she sees through the hollow of his eyes
she sees the man he once was
the man he was before he met his truth
