hold on to the shadows

Glass is shattering everywhere, and a red-streaked sky stains her vision bloody crimson. And all she knows is him.

Struggle, fight it all, hold on to the cracked man in your arms. Don't ever let go. Don't ever give in. Don't be scared, it's only just a dream.

Hold onto the shadows. The shadows that haunt your reality. They loom; dark and threatening and areflectionofyourpast overhead. Don't run in terror. Don't hide from those nightmares, even in broad daylight they are inescapable. But only ephemeral. Like the ending.

Everything is ending. But it's quick, happens in the blink of an eye. Losing him would feel like forever. He's the world. The world is ending. Nonono it isn't, you protest.

Oh, yesyesyes it is, the world is screaming as the sun flares, and everything tilts, and the cracked man is finally breaking.

Don't let go of the shadows that still lurk within the destruction.

Never let go.
