Love in the Time of Death

I live you in my days,

Dream you in my nights -

Stars rush flashing by,

Sparkling the bright eyes.

The buildings crash around us,

And you fight hard to catch your breath.

I stand still and watch - 

Welcome and smile at your death.

You call me "coward",

You call me "She-Devil",

You call me the annihilation

Of purity and life's all real.

I smile as I see the crumbling

Earth swallow you down in hungry bites.

I wait for my turn and make sure

My eyes are open as my heart sighs.
