Cold Embrace

I see a streak in the sky

Coming down from on high

Is it a rainbow?

Or a trick of the light?

What is that bright light on the horizon?

What is that rumble shaking the ground?

Is it a new day coming?

Or the end of our time?

I feel the warmth on my skin

The blinding light on my eyes

Come sit next to me, my darling

Let’s hold hands so together we shall die

Will they see our love in the ashes

In the fatal history of our last moment?

Once the heat gives way to a forever winter

Will they find warmth in our cold embrace?
