i really don't think
you understand how imperative it is
that i find happiness
in times like this.
i have the words
of the some of the smartest people
in the world
to take plots from
the essence of a mad man
behind the trials of a scientist.
usually the overall message
i close my eyes
a blur of faces
a stir of echoes
each voice distinct
usually just transmissions from the afterlife, that i intercept and interpret as a cry for help.
i just reply back, "don't cry out"
my reply is predicted to be recieved ninety-six years later.
the concept of a void is a notion i put forth lightly
because i'm afraid of the reprocussions
of securing the actual reason for this feeling in my heart
a churning in my stomach
almost puts it literally
that what i'm thinking is correct and all the other hypotheses
are false thinking
what i would give for a random encounter
stumbling upon such beauty, in a garden west of essex
sitting on a park bench, singing.
instead i chose to ignore the subtle beauties of the world.
like a fool i destroyed it.
"i will raise my gun
i will shoot the sky
and hope for a rainstorm of bullets
to kill off everything
that reminds me of you
it will rain down
the sky's lightning
strikes the full metal jackets
pealing them from their prison...
combustion
divine assistance
and modern marvel
combine
to kill off my memories of you
and our mother Earth"
now here we are... floating serenely in enternal darkness, a driving motion we can't fathom.
we had enough technology to find ourselves here...
you had just enough life left in you, to escape the closure.
as i get closer i start to disintegrate
i reach out with what i have left
with the tip of my finger
i touch your cheek
a face of white porcelain
staring back at me
you're so cold now...
i lost you to the tides of time
and space
you're drifting away darling... i promise you...
soon i will have you back.
lingering in this oblivion
you never meant that much to me
but now i, i rest in advent, till death do us part
when realizing what i've missed
i understand that i will always be jealous
i wish i lived like you did
wish i understood like you did
yes, soon i will have you back.
i will rewrite the rules of the universe.
