• I watch your twitching form disentegrate
    blown up in a cloud of light
    taking you from limbo to the great white
    the place, I want to join you.

    "It's not that simple."
    The voice makes me cower,
    the words make the earth thunder
    as if it were to explode soon

    but is is to explode soon
    isn't it?
    isn't that how we get to where we're supposed to be going?
    you and I, on our journey?

    to the great white
    a place filled with no regrets
    only passion and love and friendship
    a place for the everlasting life we've searched for

    as the white hot lava rises up,
    i realize I am not to be there
    not my place,
    in the great white with you.

    we go our separate ways.
    and as you're there, laughing gleefully
    I'm bounded to the life you left behind
    and as I'm thrown to the asphalt
    I can feel your breath
    as if you're right here with me

    "Stay a little longer."
    i hear your voice say.

    and though I don't want to agree
    though I'm stubborn as a mule
    I find comfort
    in the sound of your voice
