written 6/15/2026, sequal to the world is ending and i'm still in love with you

the dirt and rubble has settled by now / i’ve collected any remains of being / i spend my time digging shallow graves / i don’t remember when the sun last rose / it seems to always be setting / prayers haven’t been answered and promises have been abandoned / your name tastes bittersweet in my mouth / my lips are dry and cracked / it’s been fifty-four days / the silence is deafening / i’m still bracing for impact / though the world is long gone / i’ve forgotten my name / memories have feel through my fingers / i am left with nothing but barren earth
