What lies there?
There, that vacuum I’m staring into…
Hey, do you live there?
There in that orange-black expanse?
Will I reach you?
Can I hold you?
I have my arms spread out wide!
Can I know you?
May I behold you?
For one one time!?
For you seem to be a flavor,
I imbibe when I sleep.
For you seem to be a torture,
That keeps me awake as I breathe.
A faceless entity,
A significant nobody,
Why must I stare into you?
Why must I want to be a part of you?

There where the Sun melts away,
Where the Moon marks the end of day,
A few dazzling specks,
Only drops of dew,
From my colourless eyes,
They reach to you.
Scattered in what lies beyond,
Swimming in the arms of the dark,
I wonder if all my answers breathe,
Breathe, live, right right there!?
All those…I’ve had to let go,
All deaths that have passed by so slow,
Time unlived…time unknown,
I wish my life, you live right there!
For here I walk an unseen road.
The same paths to travel,
Only one air to breathe,
Nothing is ever different,
Alas! Only one life to live!

Here I shan’t find that life,
This little time and infinite memories,
I will carry them all!
I will take them with me…
Once these eyes close shut forever,
Once, my breath marks not another,
This soul shall fly, she will escape,
Down a road, you cannot trace—
Then into the black,
Into fresh green leaves,
Into fading time,
Into new found memories,
Into a finally found paradise,
Into these unending skies,
Into my long beholding eyes,
Into my lost lost life…
