Will you sit beside me at the edge?
Will you hold my hand as the sky descends?
Time itself bends,
Another era falls,
Our swan song inevitably calls.
Will you speak senselessly with me about destiny,
before fate delivers her ethereal kiss,
Then strikes down her merciless fist.
As the world turns against humanity,
Let’s sustain each others sanity,
By speaking of our days ahead.
Oh to foresee a tomorrow that will never be!
Oh to indulge in a fantasy of infinity!
Oh to bask in your company for a moment that will fade to black abruptly!
As we meet our demise,
I would like for us to feast our eyes,
On a world we don’t recognize.
The earth flawlessly scorched and scathed.
Our memories made,
begin to merge,
then fade as the earth wastes away.
Won’t you wait with me until we combust after the sun implodes?
And the ocean waves flood the cities in droves?
Before the moon crashes into us and we are crushed,
Won’t you brace for impact next to me at the edge?
As the world ravages upon humanity again,
Won’t you stay with me until the end?

Erase, erase,
Word *****,
click, clack,
backspace.
Nothing I write sway’s my mind,
I only grow frustrated,
And delete the previous line.
I don’t know why.
Even stalled in isolation,
with no distractions,
I lose so much time,
Yarn is easier to de tangle,
Rather then emerging thoughts,
already mangled,
And strangled.
Even now I question,
The idea before last,
Did I give up too fast?
I often dream of wielding a sharp tongue,
The kind of tongue that answers to no one.
Erase, erase,
Word *****,
And the coup de grace,
A swift tap,
click, clack,
backspace.

I think about what I bring to the table,
A little too often.
It's become painfully obvious that I don't bring much.
For this reason,
I choose my seat at the table with caution.
It's intimidating each time I sit down to eat,
It feels as if I haven't even neared close to earning my seat.
Everyone around me has something to offer,
But I feel all that I am is somebody's daughter.
I believed this feeling would fade as I grew into my own person.
Over time I wouldn't assume I was an undesired insertion,
A burden.
