pluto from pluto by Xionic

Silvered rain came down
Paints my clothes, the ground
My shadow above the sky
Drowns with me somehow
And we were on the bridge together
The rain stopped and hung in the air
Torn silvered wings, mottled feather
Lay on the ground beside you there

In the mist, the cold and distant sun sank into the horizon, casting shadows over our lonely forms
You looked into my eyes and I looked into yours, and we each saw our reflection there in the tears
And as the heavens above crashed down into the empty street
We recited our mantra, our promise
That even through the end of the world, the morning will come
And though it is far, so far
Together, we will reach the sun!

(And I’ll never leave you like they did, because I see myself in you)
(Like a broken reflection, or something wearing the same cracked mask)
(And we’ll be safe as long as we’re in the light, even if it betrays us its warmth)
(We’ll have each other, even from a distance)
(My pluto, my underworld, my eris, my strife)
(I can’t fucking bear this alone)
(If we must suffer then we’ll struggle together)
(We’ll give it our all, it will become our all)
(As it becomes us and we become it and all of us are one and the same)
(A single entity tracing our path through the sky unseen)
(Reaching for the fire until it burns our very bodies)
(We stand now on the precipice of life and death)
(Blind to both sides, only the boundary exists)
(And so we must step, one way or the other)
(Though the outcome is the same either way)
(I hold your hand and you speak but I don’t hear the words)
(You’re terrified, and so am I)

Woeful city lights
(We leap into the darkness, or maybe we just closed our eyes)
There behind your eyes
(All things ending, beginning, all at once)
A sign unseen you bear
(Do you feel it? Do you see it?)
Tracks across the sky
(The universe, and nothing, us, and everything)
Away
(God it’s beautiful, horrifying, these concepts are the same thing)
You orbit afar
(We’re falling, crashing towards the light)
Alone
(Uncontrolled, elated, agonising)
I just want you close
(Seeing, blinded)
Don’t you fucking dare
Don’t go
(Where are you?)
