burning world

As much as I continue
To fear the world around me
Is something collapsing in on
Itself

I remind myself
That it is okay
Because I won't be alone
When it happens

I said it was not fair to
Live for another person-
Lives hinging on
Some unknown faith

But being apart from you
Feels so much worse
Than any apocalypse or
Rapture

That I know I would
Rather watch the world
Burn up and explode
While holding your hand

Than ever give up on you
