It's been three weeks since we heard from your mother--
I swear she'll be calling soon.
I know how you get claustrophobic
Being locked up in this room.
But the chemicals outside, dear,
Would wreck your precious skin.
So, I regrettably have the task of keeping you in.

The news is saying we should be on our knees praying.

It's been three months and the TV is snowing.
The radio and phone's dead too.
Aside from a couple of books we've both read,
The only voices are me and you.
And you're growing increasingly quiet.
Sometimes, I get concerned,
That of all the people to watch the apocalypse with,
It's not me you'd prefer.

So I check to see if you're breathing,
And I pull your covers close.
This world and all its beauty could burn to the ground--
It's you I'd miss most.
