Sunset.

53 14 2
                                    

Creeping, crawling into the blue,

Your arms outstretched, clutching at straws,

A desperate attempt in time so short,

The end is near.


Pining, wanting, needing, craving,

As you reach up and I sink down,

Vanishing slowly o'er the horizon,

The end is near.


Grasping, reckless at the abyss,

A plea in vain is a plea too few,

For I am gone into the twilight.

The end is here.


Yet you still stand there looking toward heaven,

In a haze of purple 'gainst the dying sky,

And there you stay in hope of forgiveness,

Darkness. The end. Goodbye.
