Fractures.


She expected the pain, when it came.
But it was not like she had felt before.
She smiled,
And the pain became warmth.

She let it live,
The pain, inside her body.
She made it light,
Very light.

Then,
Her blood stops running.
But she managed to shut the lid tight,
She was okay.

She brings life to eternity.
She's running full of speed at it.
But she's desperate for a change,
She's screaming in silence for what she wants.

She's young enough to break.
To kill, to burn.
But she stands tall,
No one can beat her.

She's alive and he knows it.
She's not happy, and he knows it.
He gave him sorrow, and she's fine with it.
She's unbreakable, yet unbelievable.

Luna.

On a hill, behind her house,
Luna sits alone.
"They took him away," she said to herself.
"Forever."

She saw everything.
That was a bloody moment,
A scary moment,
That she'll never forget.

In this world full of trouble,
Where the madness won’t stop,
She's begging for mercy,
While holding her hands.

"No...," she whispered.
"Come back to me."
But nothing changed.
She's alone.

One day,
When she took a walk with an angel,
She asked, "Is life worth living when you need to get by?"
"I’m still lonely."

He smiled to her,
And stroked her hair.
"You are brave," he said.
"Brave enough to ask."

He took a step toward her,
Closing the space between them.
"You have to let me go," he said.
"If you don't do it now, you never will."

Everyone had a forever,
But given a choice.
With teary eyes, he whispered,
"I'll be the one to look away first."

"You've already made me cry countless times," Luna said to herself.
"And do you know what this is?"
Luna wipes her tears, hoping for a path to follow him there.
"It's me, wiping away the last tear you'll ever get."

Woman of the Apocalypse.


I'm closing the last curtain,
For you, for us,
This what we came for,
This is what we saw.

Pain is playing on repeat,
Anger, fire, and gold,
Combined and sold,
For your words and ignorance.

Hold it,
Take it away,
Away with you,
To the sky, into the light.

It should be different.
It sets us free from the illusion.
Because our desires are always changing.
Because they are often conflicting.

This is not a war.
It's essential,
Invisible to the eye,
My identity.

So what?
Maybe Luna had it right.
What and how much had I lost?
Tell me.

Don't be a small sandstorm that keeps changing directions.
You have to know what you stand for,
Or you will suffer.
Yes, you must not be defeated.

Titan.

We're on the edge of destruction.
We were isolated,
No lights, no air,
But hope.

Yes, there is hope.
There was.
Depends on what you think,
Our connection.

Back to a time when we were infinite.
I didn't have time to tell you what I had just now realized,
I forgave you,
To survive in the labyrinth.

Now, I have to live with things left undone that day.
Things that didn't go right,
Things that seemed okay at the time because we could not see the future.
It was real.

If only I could see the endless string of consequences,
I would see your thoughts in those last minutes.
I would leave you on purpose.
I wouldn't turn back the time.

I was punishing you over and over for things that are out of your control.
Then, a fully loaded weapon showed.
I wanted to know you, I wanted you to let me in.
I didn't know you.

Now I know,
That place terrifies me.
I don't want to go back to that place.
Never.

But,
These words in my head,
Those promises,
How could I forget that?

Would that I could join you,
But this moment will have to be enough.
Look to the distance,
I am there.
