#respawn
"what is this?"
i'm saying to myself
looking around
at what seemed like nothing
going on forever
save for
a game over sign
beneath it written:
respawn or quit
oh that's it
it's too lucid to be a dream
so this is it then
when suddenly
out of nothing
came one other
he says "you're here now"
"who are you?"
"don't worry too much about it"
"ok i'll try not to"
"now what do you want to do?"
i feel too much at once
everything welling
for one question
respawn or quit?
respawn or quit what
what does it mean?
what does it mean
so i ask
"is this really
even a choice
you know
if i quit
isn't that
just moving on
i guess
i could find out
what the next level is
is it all just the same
but with more umph?
or is it something
so different my life
might feel like a fantasy
while trying to remember?
will it be all that
over and over again?"
"i'm with you here
and where you were
so whatever is after quit
is what you get to know
you can choose whenever
you have forever"
"what do others choose"
"that's for them
i'm not with them
i'm with you"
"would you miss me if i quit?"
"i don't know"
"well then
respawn confuses me
can we sit and talk?"
"i can yes
again, you have forever"

We each start out with three hearts...
And then we love,
And before we know it,
All of our hearts are gone.
Only this time,
There's no respawning.
