Under the trees that have lost leaves
The tinge of redness becomes an opaque slate
We came together, that last time
A mesh of bodies
We had become lost.

I looked into your eyes and saw despair
Above us and around us, the world was coming undone
Wordlessly, there was nothing left to say
But to embrace and conform and wield.

The Lost We, a gallant gentleman
Under the hues of a deathly silence
We kissed and gave way to infinity.

We witnessed the souls become Stars
The Lost became emblems
The Gallant Gentleman become a myth.

Wordlessly we held onto each other
An elegy of profound embrace
In the final moments, as the sky became fire
You found voice
"I love you."
