Blue Skies Black Death

You move like lightning under glass

Every step feels like the last

I reach, but you’re already gone

Chasing something I can’t name

It’s not fear, it’s not love

It’s the weight of both at once

Blue skies, black death

I breathe you in

Every fall feels endless, again

Blue skies, black death

You burn so bright

I can’t hold what won’t stay alive

Your shadow bends against the sun

Nothing stops you, not anyone

I’m the quiet you leave behind

When you vanish into the climb

How do you keep running out of air

And still look like you belong there?

I can’t follow, I don’t dare

Blue skies, black death

I said it once

Every heart breaks loud when it loves too much

Blue skies, black death

You disappear

But I’m still here
