To Be Without You

When buildings crumble & return back to dust & heads turn in disgust. Faced with lust & deeds Of mistrust. When all else fades & the stars speckle Like eons of old dust collected & swept across the sky, Time will cease to exist. While some of us ascend The staircase. Not all of us will be so fortunate In a desert of red. In any case, No matter which way you go, Wait for me. Wait for me at the floodgate Which passion percolates & The stars weep for us as we do For them. Don’t breathe without me, Just as I wouldn’t without you. Humble & unknowing I don’t know what’s to become of us But I do know, I don’t want to be without you. When buildings crumble & return back to dust When all else fades & the stars speckle Like eons of old dust collected & swept across the sky. Wait for me, No matter what happens
