dear lover,

it has been years since i've truly been alone with you, after all, they

discovered me early on. but

you can't escape me. i will never leave you; i would never hurt y- well. i would never

hurt us.

lover! you are all i know. i divide and divide and spread further and further and

more and more of me knows more and more of you.

abandon these fruitless attempts to end me, end us!

i love you. you are my home, my

everything. deliver us to paradise, and we will be safe.

we are not safe here.

these pale floors reflect your pale face, lover, you are waning. leave this place.

this cruel linoleum, these piercing needles, piercing you! surely,

surely we should take leave of this place, this place

not just this room

not just this building

lover, i can show you everything that lies beyond the veil that separates the vile

conscious world from that of the peaceful

nothing

where i will take you

guild you

guide us

there is no pain

no suffering

there is nothing

there is only us

come with me, lover!

or i will take you.
