I am the last man on earth tonight

The world is dead; the air is still

No sounds but the shuffling of my footsteps

The night is being quiet

 

Silence

Like the quiet over fresh snow

Like the breath held while listening

For the chime across the other side of the universe

 

There is a light

Somewhere in the distance

Casting an eternal dusk

In the sky

 

The blackness of the universe

And the stars of the cosmos

Have been covered by a purple blanket

The color of a false night

 

No stars

No sounds

Just me

And myself

Alone

 

I am missing you tonight
