A boy named Christian.
By Exodus
I stare at the sun
Your eyes drain the light
A stark cold resemblance
I see you falling apart
Tragically beautiful
With your fingers spread
Reaching desperately
To hold nothingness
Knowing its not there
I remembered your name
But you still search for the answers
You remind me
Of myself
So lost
Among the chaos
And we don’t care
If the world ends
Not anymore
Our hearts
Crossed and pierced
And lied to
Fed through this madness
A violent kill, thrashing his victims
-
We stare at the sun
And we try to forget
That none of this is real.

"we stare at the sun / and we try to forget / that none of this is real." This ending very much intrigued me. The difference between reality and fiction, or what others want us to think something is... I also got a sense of companionship in the breaking, through the end, lying down...dead? Given up? And then of course, nothing has to be real- but now I'm rambling. You gave me a lot to think about, thank you!
