CHARM BY BIRU

“i’m going to miss you when this ends” you said

and i swore, “i’m not going anywhere”

now i’m charging over open ground

wild and weightless

moving like the tears racing

from my eyes to my neck

in a desperate attempt to outpace the night

i can hear my heart hammering in my eardrums

high on grief and ecstasy

now the sun is sinking

and i’m crying again

you always told me to choose my battles wisely

admitting defeat, i sink to the ground

gaze up at the sky, still gasping for breath

your laugh echoes

somewhere deep in my heart

where i keep you seperate from the rest

i can’t outpace the night

i couldn’t forget you if i tried

you’re all there ever was

and all there ever will be

i’ll see you in my dreams
