This is a song yes, which you may recognize if you're an AFI fan, but I think it's the most beautiful piece of poetry I've ever read. It's not titled, if you google AFI lyrics, but it's on Sing the Sorrow as part of '...but Home is Nowhere.' If you've never heard that song, listen to it. This part, 'Untitled' is spoken with piano and orchestral in the background. Anyways, I just think it's really beatiful, so I wanted to post it here. No copyright infringment intended, I'm not making any money off this. I hope you enjoy.
"We held hands on the last night on earth. Our mouths filled with dust, we kissed in the fields and under trees, screaming like dogs, bleeding dark into the leaves. It was empty on the edge of town but we knew everyone floated along the bottom of the river. So we walked through the waste where the road curved into the sea and the shattered seasons lay, and the bitter smell of burning was on you like a disease. In our cancer of passion you said, 'Death is a midnight runner.' The sky had come crashing down like the news of an intimate suicide. We picked up the shards and formed them into shapes of stars that wore like an antique wedding dress. The echoes of the past broke the hearts of the unborn as the ferris wheel silently slowed to a stop. The few insects skittered away in the hopes of a better pastime. I kissed you at the apex of the maelstrom and asked if you would accompany me in a quick fall, but you made me realize that my ticket wasn't good for two. I rode alone. You said, 'The cinders are falling like snow.' There is poetry in despair, and we sang with unrivaled beauty, bitter elegies of savagery and eloquence. Of blue and gray. Strange, we ran down desperate streets and carved our names in the flesh of the city. The sun has stagnated somewhere beyond the rim of the horizon and the darkness is a mystery of curves and lines. Still, we lay under the emptiness and drifed slowly outward, and somewhere in the wilderness we found salvation scratched into the earth like a message."
Also, I just want to add that I think the lyrics Davey writes are all amazing and beautiful. This is just, in my oppinion, the most amazing, and the most beautiful.
