[HOW]
this message speaks to nobodies
to nowhere worlds and in-betweens
to stowaways in childhood dreams

and exemptions to the fact that someday
somewhere
time will pull your life of inexistence into
nowhere

though it never makes a difference
when and how you die
cause you will
(forever will deny this)
but you’ll still
fall victim to its silence

so forget about your past, your present and your future
soon, you will not be what you are, but what you were
what you are not, what you won’t be
but still you’ll see
the days you’re never meant to live
the times you forgot to forgive, you’ll know them well
so save your breath, and instead
bid yourself farewell


[WHY]
...if only you could choose
long before you ever knew where you could go
before you were forevermore a denizen
of heaven and its reputation as the greatest of unknowns

where all the gods in heaven’s chains
wanted you to know the pain
the price of change, to know the things you’ll never know
the cost of things you’ll never own
the things you don’t want to believe or die
to beget to forget just how and why
you don’t exist, you never will, you always did

but now is gone, now is goodbye
from dusk to dawn, twilight to starlight
now is never to forever
but weep not, always remember
you forgot there is no when to now and then
and now you’re then
when you will always find yourself
right here without right now
again
