You and Me

I have always missed you,
But even if Fate deemed it so,
I would never go back to you.

I long for the ease
That being with you,
Has always given me.

Yet I would cut off my arm,
Before I reached out to you,
To help soothe me.

It didn't have to end this way,
Yet it's the only way this could have ended,
You and me, as parallel lines,
Parallel lives.

Stay with me

Stay with me,
For a while or for a day.

Stay with me,
Until my bones all rot away.

Fall with me,
Crying, laughing, shouting, playing.

Fall with me,
Laughing madly till we're all insane.

Crash with me,
Broken bones and scrambled minds.

Crash with me,
Holding each other through the end of time.

Die with me,
And we'll live on forever.
