Crossing this world and others,
Searching for a version of us
Who survived together.
But we could never have stayed together
In any world that I can concieve.
I believe that that's the tragedy of it,
It was inevitable.

Doomed Reality
The path we follow
Among these hunters,
Will be our doom.
For our hearts are made of clay,
And for all our similarities,
Theirs are made of iron.

Death do us part
Crimes of passion run amok,
Spreading chaos through the land.
Yet this bubble of peace
We have found ourselves in,
Remains untouched.
We might not live forever,
Nor would I ever want to.
Yet for the time that I still live,
I will spend it with us together,
Until death do us part.

Expectations
Call me around to
Your point of view,
I'll sigh and just follow.
It's exasperating,
Infuriating,
Yet it's all I know.
Taking more and more,
I've given everything I have,
What more do you want of me?

Understanding
Claustrophobic expectations
Set the tone for how things will go.
Making things up just to
Set the score down evenly.
Understanding anomalies
Is a way to make us all insane.
Not everything has an explanation,
Evocative imageries live endlessly on.

Life
In this life,
There are no beginnings or endings.
The journey is
The only thing we have,
So let's make it worth it.

Reincarnation
What would reincarnation feel like?
Would I be glad for another chance?
Or would I miss my previous life?
Would it be a new beginning?
Or would it be another series of regrets?
I hope that I never have to know.

Untamed
A mad descent into darkness,
Has always fit her more properly than,
The cruel trappings of society
Have ever done.

Greek Tragedies
Icarus may have fallen,
But he experienced the feeling of
Freedom from a tyrant,
And the sensation of flying free.
What more could he have asked for?
Orpheus may have turned back
To look for Eurydice,
But she never doubted his love for her,
Not when he bargained with Hades for her life.
What more could she have asked for?
Prometheus may have been punished
With eternal torment,
But his name lives forevermore
As the forerunner of human civilisation.
What more could he have asked for?
These long gone times may have made
These myths into tragedies,
But those in the myths
Have triumphed in their own way,
So what more could they have asked for?

The Future
Catastrophizing over the future
Is such a sordid task.
The anxious wait for what's to come
Can drive anyone to despair.
Yet the future will transpire
When its time has come to pass,
And stressing about it
Is an arduous and pointless endeavor.
