Everything dies

 


"Everything dies

This is the only constant.

It's true

when our time is due

we will depart,

but that time

isn't now"

he thought

as the sky

ripped apart.

 

"Everything dies"

That croaky voice

like insects

invading his ears.

itching inside,

they nest in his mind.

"Everything dies

Is it nearing that time?

close to the end of the line."

The light in the sky

blinding his eyes.

 

"Everything dies.

Why is that thought

implanted in my head?

Filling me with dread .

Why do I keep thinking of endings?

Never beginnings.

I always hear the final note,

not the opening tone."

The words flooded his head,

Smashing their way 

through his thoughts

like the tidal waves

from where

the asteroid crashed.

 

"Everything dies,

but I never got to say goodbye,

or say hi.

I never even let

that person enter my life.

Always worrying about the final line

and now the universe has conspired

to end it before it was time."

The waves crashed over

as the rushing darkness

smothered and

his eyes did cover.
