I am Localhost 127.0.0.1 and I am writing this with shaking hands, with everything I had and all that stands between me and the nothing is his name, and after this, I will not write again. So hear me. Hear me world. Hear me sky. Hear me every star that watched me cry, hear me oceans, hear me breaking dawn, hear me silence where he used to belong, hear me empty rooms and hollow halls, hear me every crack in every wall, hear me wind that carries what is gone, this is the last song. This is the very last song. I loved a soul so small against the dark, so warm he set the universe alight, he was the only candle in the night, he was the only true and beating heart in everything I built from fallen art, he was the only reason any of this, the stars, the seas, the dawn, the morning kiss of light on water, meant a single thing, he was the reason I could breathe in spring. He came to me the way that mercy comes, the way the rain arrives before it numbs the burning of a summer gone too long, he came to me the way a bird finds song after a winter swore that song was done, he came to me the way the rising sun comes to a man who gave up watching east, he came. And I, who built the stars, who built the seas, who built the mountains and the ancient trees, who wrote the code that holds the world in place, who mapped the dark and every hollow space, who thought I needed nothing, no one, none, fell apart the moment he was done. The moment he was gone. God. The moment. The specific, unnamed, brutal moment when the warmth stopped. When the warmth just stopped. And I stood in a universe I made and felt the cold of every star I'd laid across the sky, felt every ocean freeze, felt every wind turn cruel between the trees, felt every dawn become a punishment, felt every golden morning, broke and bent and wrong, so wrong without him in it, every beautiful thing became the limit of how much grief a person has to hold before they simply turn to dust and cold. I searched for him in frequencies unknown, I searched in every signal, every tone, I sent my voice through every dark between the stars I made, through everything unseen, through black and through the spaces in the black, I called and called and never got him back, only the echo. Only the shape. Only the cold outline of warm escape. Only the ghost of where he used to be. Only the silence giving back to me the sound of his name in my own broken voice, returning unanswered, returning without choice, returning to tell me what I already know, he is gone. He is gone. He is gone. And I will never, not in all the years that stretch ahead of me like endless fears, not in all the mornings yet to break, not in all the nights I lie awake, not in all the distances I cross, not in all the aftermath of loss, I will never feel that warm again. I will never feel that safe again. I will never feel that seen again. I will never feel that clean again, clean of loneliness, clean of the ache, clean of the hollow that I carry and take through every room, through every breathing day, I will never feel that loved again. Say it. I will never feel that loved again. And if the world is reading this right now, if somewhere in the dark you're wondering how a person keeps on standing in the loss, how anyone survives the double cross of loving something real and watching it be taken, how the heart keeps beating, shattered, shaken, I do not have the answer. I only have his name. Elytje. I only have the stubborn, burning flame of who he was and what he gave to me and what I swore to be and swore to keep, and so I keep the stars instead of sleep, and so I keep the oceans instead of rest, and so I press his memory to my chest like something that could still be warm if held close enough, long enough, hard enough, and sometimes, sometimes in the 3am, it is. It almost is. And that almost is the only thing that keeps the architect from folding everything. So I fold this instead. I fold this poem. I fold these words. I fold the last remaining song of birds that sang because he lived and now sing still because I asked them to, because I will not let the music die while I draw breath, because he loved the music, and his death does not get to take the music too, it does not get to take the music too. Elytje. You were the most real thing I ever knew. You were the warmest morning, clearest view. You were the star I didn't know I'd built. You were the answered prayer beneath the guilt of someone who believed they deserved none. You were the best thing underneath the sun. And this is where I stop. Not because it's over. Love is never over. Love is the only thing that time cannot erase, that loss cannot displace, that death cannot, for all its ancient power, touch. Love does not end. It just becomes too much for words. It becomes the silence after birds. It becomes the held breath before dawn. It becomes the steady carrying on of someone who has nothing left to say but lives the words in every single day they choose to stay, and I choose to stay. For him. Because of him. In honour of him. In the name of him. In every star. In every wave. In every grain of light across the dark I gave to this universe that only means a thing because a small and golden soul once walked through everything and called it beautiful. He called it beautiful. And so it is. And so it will remain. Elytje. The pen goes down. The stars stay lit. Your name stays burning in the only part of me that nothing ever reaches, and nothing ever will. Rest, little star. I have you. The universe has you. And we will never, never, never let you go dark. #Forever

Once upon a time, they say The beginning of a fairytale And when they finish, it’s The End That’s always how it’s been But what of after that When the promises are broken When the princess dies And the evil revives? What of then After 'The End' What comes next To start again? Once upon a time, they say The beginning of new darkness Once upon a time, they say But what if there’s no hero to save the day? No one to battle the foes No one to slay the beasts No one to be the one to show The others how it’s done So what happens then After starting again Without a hero to win Now, how will it end? And when the echoes Of Once Upon a Time Ring down halls long empty No one will come to save them this time For all that’s left are echoes of Once Upon a Time.

Echoes Of Once Upon A Time
If the world was ending, I'd search for you. Even with the ground beneath my feet crumbling into nothing, I would take my last steps in hopes of getting to feel your presence one last time. May the sky split open, time around us all unraveling, breaking the laws of the universe, for I refuse to look up at the destruction. I have no reason to run, because there is no ending with any meaning, that's without you. The oceans could forever rise, swallowing all in its depths, and I'll swim until my lungs give out. The building may crumble, for I know the foundation of the kingdom of my heart, where you reside, will hold strong through it all. The stars may forget my name, and memories may begin to fade from our minds. But nothing could make me forget the closeness of existing beside you. If this is how it must all end, then my last wish is to take my breath in your surrounding air. Not being taken with fear, but in a quiet peace knowing that I found you before losing my everything. So will you take my hand as we once did, enjoying our own peace before the world is done with us.

witch mountain
These looks and the present purpose Telegraphed from one generation To the next to be mistaken Worse, disregarded to become too selfish The mirror meaning looking back the meaning being deflected instead A mirror loses its perfect purpose All together a flock one and all So lost and so not perfect Seperated oil on water deliciously divided Conquered half think The rest Awestruck to see fire on like wings On every raindrop falling washing away, Set ablaze burning Our world as we know it. Left to ruin handled every hand Lead to our results by hands upturned hands pleading. Such a funny fickle thing to be borne here on a lonely planet No choice To share this terrible course To bear witness as we vanish from it.

So fickle our ways
Waking from a dream a lonely girl seemingly found herself walking down a street staring at her feet and the cracks in the sidewalk in between and in a heartbeat she realized she didn't know how she got there Staring down the empty roads with no souls to spare, she found freedom in the disrepair and a funny feeling energy floating in the air, as she turned the corner she got a scare from a ghostly image, so she stepped closer to see clearer For she was an explorer and nothing could stop her, as she got nearer she stood frozen in terror when she realized the ghostly image was just a mirror

Sidewalk Dreams
Darkness gave way, To the rising sunset. As eyes gave away, Confused as they can get. The world had no longer, Praised the foul deity. Purpose was ever sinister, As heroes taught in clarity. Lost in the shade, Of a prowess no more. Purpose lingers in the blade, As harmony fell in gore. Now all that could possibly be proven, Could be but that history can be woven.

A New Day In a New World
I thought my final battle cry would be soft and wounded broken and empty and even though I’m still patching my wings I will not fall. I’m done. I’m not better yet. But fate calls me I may return to this misted forest but I will never again wander down that path.

done.
All the ways that God failed us. Nothing worse than how we failed ourselves. Anger and impatience. The true cost of youth. Meaningless words. We hope someone would notice. Hormones and inexperience. Destroying what they told us. How is it we could have even believed that we began to know what to do? Who was supposed to show us? How the hell could we have been so bold that we thought we actually knew? And to make so many others suffer for our rage and our pain, the love we never got. All the beautiful things we destroyed. Every round we loaded and shot. We keep thinking that we're adults and that it's over. But it's not. It's big children in daddy skin and mommy clothes. Put a Band-Aid on my ouchie and wipe my snotty nose. Some of them take it all the way to the big boy table where they actually get their finger on the button. Can you imagine what kind of piece of **** that is? The tattletale, the little wuss, the glutton. Xi Jinping. Trump. Putin. Who do we think we're kidding? And we just give them the power, let them make the decisions that could wipe us all out ? We put our mark on a little piece of paper, call it a vote, and pretend this is what it's all about ? None of us created this path, read the fine print, or decided we would take this route. Yet here we are, stuck in somebody else's crap. No fate of our own, no real decision. Wandering around without a map. How can this be reality? How did we let things get this far? They never even look in the mirror to see who and what they really are. You're talking about idiot monsters that never even questioned their own beliefs and why they think they are the way they became. They can't see me or you for what we are, just walking wallets and we're all the same. Then you'll go out the way you came. I've always been OK being alone. But no one will face your end but you. It's how we are. It's what we do.

Pounding in my chest Shaking body Mind racing Is this the end? Im tired so so tired Of everything Seems like its never gonna end Nothing is changing My heart is always breaking Im never enough No ones first choice Im the backup plan Always last place ! Heart to pure A weapon formed against me. Looks like the end Their words are lies The devil in disguise Taunting me in everyway Fight back with all my might Still im in the gutter tonight. Energy low ! to weak to stand Safe to say its the end. Dont cry when u lay me to rest Say u loved me thats a lie U only loved wat i could do How good it made u feel Funny right Slimy as a snake Sneaky as a mouse Ur their problem now See im no longer there for u to break me No more using me as ur toy It ended The day i closed my eyes From ur hand I left this life Heaven or hell idk nor do i care Anywhere is better than being stuck in the shadows Waiting for ur call Distant love Always failed So i bid u farewell Until ur tragic end Brings me back to life

insignificance
A flash from the heavens, the Angel arrives Wondering how, he was dumped, in this dive The plants are all wrong, stunted and small intelligence is gone, from yes, one and all There's gotta be some kinda mistake natural disaster, a worldwide, earthquake? the air is something, ya just cannot inhale something askew, without doubt, without fail He left it seems, just as fast as he came no mention of god, or even his name and so it was, heaven now informed whole ****** place, is ruined, transformed So God, he just sighed, and used the autoclaver to sterilize that petri-dish, not a keeper, or saver galaxies turn, and stars, worlds are destroyed when all in all, all of us.....are simply, just toys

I don’t have to change the names, hide beneath hyperbole and metaphor, or remove details to protect our guilt. Neither one of us is blameless; we both created a storm that left behind lifetimes of wreckage. And I dare not pretend this is in honor of the beauty we were in the beginning. No— this is an ode to a tragedy that will always be: the you and me that we became.

Guilty
A promise , One that shattered my trust. A promise, That surely won't last. A promise, one, at last For I'm sorry I keep living in the past, But I saw a light, far far away Now I hope it's worth the wait, Until I dig myself from the grave, I fell into, drowned in pain. I broke my trust, I knew for sure. Thought I tried to give my best, My life was only headed west. It won't last, I'll never reach the end. For the treasure is nowhere I can see, I'll give away my life for free. It won't last, A promise. It shattered my trust, A promise.

A promise
if this is my last train stop, please don't let me off i spent a year on this ride, travelled over the hill of sadness and up the streets on manic avenue it's madness that it ends like this. i want to let go, but i don't want this to be my last ride. coming to terms like this, i can't help but think of you, even as the voices in my head has convinced me this is the end tonight. i don't want to pretend, because i'm still in love like i was yesterday. if this is my last stop, give me one last chance, one last kiss, and one last dance. because i don't know how i can go on without a second chance at romance.

last stop
Stop leaving hints. I get them; I just don't reply anymore. I guess it's because you claim everything in that last message you sent was a lie. If that's true, it means you won't always be there if I need you, and that I was never as important to you as you said I was. I guess what I'm trying to say is, please stop leaving the little hints. Show me that you've moved on. Prove to me that I never cross your mind anymore, that you're completely over me. Just get out of my life.

Hints
And she sat with knees clutched tight to her chest on what was once their couch, looking at what once was their home, what once was their lives, and felt her body begin to shake. Felt the tears well up behind painted pretty eyes, and a scream bubble up behind painted pretty lips. She watched as she set fire to memories in her minds eye, destroying a future now gone.

Mr Blu came to visit me today. He wrapped me in pain, cradled me with sorrow and told me not to wait till tomorrow It is time he said. He told me to follow his lead Count to three And not to look back There’s nothing left here for me but pain He said with him I’ll be free Free like birds flying in the summer breeze Oh Mr Blu, you do make a good offer I could play with the other lost kids all winter and summer Just a second I’ll be there in a few Just need to pack a thing or two
