the sky is burning
I hold your hand
my heart is breaking
I hold your hand
no matter the time
no matter the world
I will be holding your hand
always
You, always you
Between the waves
the silence.
Between the silence
the words.
Between the words
you, always you.
Between the shadows
the light.
Between the light
the dreaming.
Between the dreaming
you, always you.
Between the heartbeats
the resting.
Between the resting
the force.
Between the force
you, always you.
Between the words
between the dreaming
between the force
between the very end of things
You. You.
You, always you.
Always
‘Always’, she whispered to him, ‘always’.
The last word he wanted to hear, and the last word he did.
