We feel the burn
the urge
the need to fight
but also
we feel the exhaustion
a purge
our neverending plight
because all of it, we feel.
We feel the love
like we’re on the verge
maybe there *is* an end in sight
but then we feel frozen
knowing that soon comes the scourge
and eventually, our last night.
