as he stood brave, staring, into the eyes of death 'are you not afraid ?' asked death.
smiling, he replied,
'do you see fear in my eyes ?
it's not death i fear, it is the living.
it's not oblivion i fear, it is the remembrance.'

as the fog lifted,
as he found himself to be stranded on this rock again,
his arrogant smile was no more to be seen,
his eyes were no longer fearless.

there when eyes sealed,
there in my thoughts, and in my dreams,
haunting me day and night,
are you the faded past or a glimpse into the future ?

I wait, and I wait...
for this misery to reach its grand finale...
for this pointless existence to cease...
for this bag of bones to cave-in... complimenting my soul.

To slumber and never rise again...
in this mayhem we call... the universe.

Every now and then,
you step into my dreams only to fade away thereafter.

Bringing short yet immeasurable bliss to my dull life.

Evermore when I do not wish you to,
and nevermore when I long for you.

Makes me wonder, have I ever been in yours.
