"faster"
---------------
i remember your name. i remember your face. you were the dark that i fell into. you were sleep. the abyss. oblivion. you were beautiful. sad. you were so many different things. as i fall, now, deeper and deeper into nothing, i raise my glass to you. my dream of you is over; for it was only a dream. i shall arise, and start a brand new day. only to be faced with this dream. i raised a toast in your name, and you were not satisfied. i raised a shrine in your image, and you were not satisfied. i raised a god in your likeness, and you were not satisfied. you only asked for more. and i could only give, for i was indebted to you, your beauty. i worshipped you. how i did. you were a queen to my pauper. you were the king to my pea. here, i am nothing. and i will still be nothing, forever trapped in this dream.

i see you now. you are smiling. there are tears. but you are smiling, mysterious, beautiful. your head is hung. your fingers stretched. your tears shine. i catch one. two. three. they flow faster. freely. i ache to see you burn. i ache to see you cry. i ache.

and i fall. faster.
