The Takeover

The Takeover

Watch me leave out that door
Right Now.
Just like a Memory.

You think I
Want this?
Reassurance being handed out like candy.

Hide me.
I can't watch as this Takeover
Happens right in front of

Us.
Water pours from
The tightly wound hose.

Front yard full of water
And the dust falls.
The takeover.

Spin around.
Look.
Spin around.

Nobody understands.
Am I the only one with
Tears?

I run as the buildings
Crumble right in front of
Us.

A phone rings
And No One
Answers.

Maybe it's all in my head.
I cannot breathe.
Until I met You.

What did you say?
The Takeover.
So You See Too.
Thin as Paper.
We Agree,
We need to save these people.

Why don't they realize?
What's happening?
I don't understand .

Confusion around every curve,
And the wind whips.
So hard. It hurts.

You think We
Want this?
Reassurance being handed out like candy.

But at least I have You
Now.
I can feel your heat.

I See You Now.
I Think It'll Be Alright.
We'll Survive At Least.
You Still Want To Save Them.
But You Need To Understand.
They Don't Even Know It's Happening.
