When the lights go out
and the sounds of children laughing
cease to fill the air.
When the winds pick up
and tears rain down on the earth
like waves in the ocean.
When the darkness disappears
and leaves behind only void and wanting
and nothingness.
When the dreams of my youth
contained in my pumping heart
are torn asunder.
When my thoughts of you
are no longer true,
the world will end.
And I will be
too far gone
to notice.
