As the days got darker
And the sun stopped shining
We became closer
As the clouds became grayer
And the rain started falling
We pretended
It was normal
As the world caved in
And the flowers decayed
We forgot
The pain
Of the world.
We Pretended

2020 Backyard Nights
Many years have passed
Wearing away at my soul
Yet I will never forget
Those 2020 backyard nights we spent
Collecting acorns and playing tag under sunset skies
-
you got what you wanted in the end
There are days and nights
When I still think of you
And I smile
Because even if you’re gone
I know you’re happy now

This gives me the image of two people falling gently in love as the world descends into catastrophe, into apocalypse. The contrast is lovely. For so few words, this piece is striking.
