The End

The end of the world is behind us.

It quickly catches up as streetlights go out one by one.

The earth caves in and swallows cars.

It's as simple as driving on the highway

A simple heart-wrenching song echoing in your ears.

Red lights flutter to and fro in front of you

Trying to escape their fate.

But it's too late.

You fall into the earth

And pray one last prayer.

Tell him I love him,

Because I never did.
