Dec 2012
The void erupts
We grip the lawn for dear life
So I squeeze the glass in my hand
To let the blades of grass inside.

The stars are falling!
Trees are uplifted into the widening sky.
Car alarms shriek a eulogy
For the fear ****** from our eyes.

Venus is gone!
Tie our broken arms together
I bite my lips in half
So my taste will last forever.

The stars are slowing!
Streetlights bleed slowly in the night:
Like traffic on the freeway,
The photons no longer move at the speed of light

So the line starts here (buildings uproot)
Your nails are in my veins (there's no wind)
Outrun the singularity (if you dare)
If you please, if you care.
Let this be all I know (Glowing)
Ion storms collide (It's colder somehow)
The sun slips far away (Where I'll be)
Moments becoming infinities

The clock stops!
This is our infinite second.
I just want to move to see you
But you were out of sight

When terror became night.
Nightmare: Black hole opens. Woke up terrified. The last second of the dream lasted for an hour, and I was a slave to my constant approach to the speed of light.
