Tears for the Fall

This one I meant to be dark I had in mind an appocalypse I left that undefined for effect

Before the nights end
and after the fall
only her voice will be my solace

Resting my head upon her bosom
if only to feel breath
still her heart sings our song

From afar I see the city aglow of flames
obscured by smoke is the twilit sky
palpable is the scent of death

Only her touch I feel
pain, grief, anger: all are gone
together we will await a silent death

A single tear will I shed
not for the fall man
but for the fall of one woman

In the end only lovers will be left alive
