The End of The World

On the day the world ends

I wear a crown

And you wear an eyepatch.

We sit on our roof and watch the

City burn.

The cockroaches put on

Party hats,

And the birds whistle the

Ending credit theme,

As they shake soot

From their feathers.

On the day the world ends

The sun screams as she

Melts into a purple sky.

The stars wink silver

And the moon weeps blue

Until all the colors

Blend together.

On the day the world ends

We all bleed the same.

I tell you that it's the most

Beautiful thing

I've ever seen.

You trace your finger along

The smoldering shingles

And write "I know"

Into the ashes.
