On the Bright Side

Still as lost as yesterday
But
The world is not currently ending
My atoms are not presently spreading themselves across the universe
Forgetting me
Will there be much to remember?
My lungs stopped exploding a few moments ago
After my heart stopped beating because the angel on my shoulder said it should
I was deaf until I heard those words
A little piece of advice:
Angles lie
At least devils are upfront about it
Skin intact
Hands underwater
They're drowning
Not me
That's why they can hold you so closely
They are reaching for you
Not me
Not me
Those hands are not a part of me
I'm still as lost as yesterday
When I was melding us together
Drowning in you
The world is not currently ending
But our atoms are forgetting me
Angels lie
All the time
And my heart stopped beating when I asked it to
