Wait for me,
As I live adrift in the cosmos.
Please, hold the rope
Tying me to this Earth,
As I scream out to the void;
Out to infinity.

Look away as my lungs collapse
From the weight of nothingness.
An inward fold —
A crushing silence,
Overwhelmed by futures past and bold.

Hold on to me,
And watch my shatter,
But please, love me, and avoid my gaze.
I yearn for the end of this implosion;
Renewal.

Yet, I wish to be a phoenix of the night.
As I am born,
As I die and am reborn again,
As my tears, float evermore
In time and space.

Look away,
Look away,
Look away.

But please, I beg of you,
Keep your hand on mine.
Please,
I beg you to stay.
