As darkness settles, the clouds roll in
Seemingly touching the ground
There is a calm stillness, a hush over city
As if we know the end is nearing
We are watching in wait for judgment
Something is different this time,
Something not quite right,
As if damnation is further off then we thought
Some kneel and pray
Other just stand hand in hand with their partners
We wait
For what seems like an eternity
We wait
Nothing
We are all but shadows now
Mere memories to so many
Missed by even fewer
For all we did was wait at dusk
Hoping for a dawn
We wasted our lives waiting
Preparing for an end
Instead of rejoicing
Being grateful for all we have
Tomorrow stopped occurring
While we waited at dusk
