Hold me close
As if I were the very center of your being
If all is to be well
Then where does Tragedy end
I once swore to Survive
But if surviving means
To lose those close to me
Then survival can be left to the
Careless
Those who can continue even when
Their comrades,
Family,
Friends
Have all fallen to death with the same fate
As the next
Surviving is a fool's errand
But with you
I can continue
Move on
Because with you
The Fallen
Have Arisen
So Hold me close
For this is my end
But if you look back
Upon me
I can feel as though
It's not.
