Last Days of What Was

Last days of what was
and all I can think of is you.

Standing at the edge
pushed to the precipice
pushed to take flight
before I'm ready
as if I'd ever be ready
as if I'd ever want to fly away
from this
from you
from what we built
from what I sacrificed so much for.

Last days of what was
and all I want is another moment
and another
and another

Last days of what was
and all I want is a push against the inevitable
a push against the push
that gives
that just for once
just once
actually gives.
