promise me when my love for living fades away
that you'll interject, she said
it was so like you to hope that i was there when you needed me most
on days like these
...days like these...you would always get this way
when your dull melancholic knife
slowly carved into your sun soaked sky
the dimming clouds, formerly so luminous
hemorraging a dark stormy gray
staining your beloved infinite sky
but when were things ever right for you? (for us?)
there was a certain feeling
so strong that i could feel the liquid emotion flowing in my veins
pumping into a heart all too accepting of the inevitable
every time i felt her so close by
i wanted her in every way imaginable
but with these days passing us by
speeding to such a beautiful ending
we decided that passing the time taking the entire world in
and loving every pixel of our digital reality was all we could do
while hoping for something so much more real
denying that any such thing was right in front of us
...but even with you gone
i'll try finding comfort knowing that everywhere i hoped you were
you were there
i only wish that i can stay awake
to hear the hysterical laughter and thoughtful chatter
long enough to know that when i finally fall asleep
the world will continue on
the text and emoticons evidence that we were (are...?) forever searching
for something so much more real.
....our beautiful ending.....loading....loading........
loading.........
..........done.

"computer world" is a paradox of sorts...it has a loud deafening quality that speaks softly in my ears. i search for acceptance and to find a quiet solitude that arrives only when sleep falls on my fingers at the keyboard. yet, in the morning, the words on the other side of the monitor glass validate an existence, even as the world sleeps!

"...should i trade or should i keep this life that seems so meaningless or should i dream the dream that no man dreams in the quiet solitude of death?"
