Reality's Escape: a collection of short stories

to fight with god

why

did you

leave me here?

god, i miss you

why do i miss you?

i thought i could do this

i thought i was fine with me

but now you're gone and i don't know

don't know what to do; you were my all

i was wrapped up in what you said of me

can't you see that what i've done was all for you?

my time, my worth, my love, i gave them free

and when you left, you took them with you

you left me here, this world to rot

it's like you made the sun shine

now the wind knots my hair

and the clouds are dark

rain fills my shoes

tears too, but

you don't

care.

please

come back

i was wrong

you know what, no

that is what you want

but i will stand my ground

i will not crawl back to you

you can not make me turn my will

I'll be as stiff as you claim you are

all of my days, i will run far from you

when i stop, i'll be so high you can't reach me

you will have to crawl to me on your knees

and then beg for me to take you back

till then i will stand in this storm

i don't care how rough it'll get

let this noise shake the earth

the light pierce my eyes

to show all things

and then go.

it's dark

now.

hey

hear me

give me time

why did you leave?

hear me shout my hate

let me scream what i feel

let me tell you what i think

you are so great, so high, so far

or so you think. i will prove you wrong

my words will make you fall in to my grasp

and then i want to bring you down here with me

so that you can know just how this all feels

to lay face down in the cold wet grass

and rip the turf up with your hands

your clothes stuck to your skin
