Take the Flight

By Ameena George (she/they)

Notice me

You’re my world, won’t you notice me?

You said you wanted to die

Did you want to kill me too?

You’re my apocalypse,

my firework

you explode into stars. Will I never see you again?

The light from you has escaped

I can’t reach - slip out of my fingertips

Will you take the flight

With me

Do I have to go with you

Lead me on

This black hole forever awaits us

So

Who will be on the plane flying from my apocalypse

Will it be me?

You?

Will you lead me

Or are you the end that I’m flying away from

Take this flight with me,

Wake me when it’s the end, and 

we’ll soar
