jellyfish hearts

i'll be back (for you)

i press my palm against the glass
i'm in heaven
and you're in hell
so how come i still feel pain?

people in heaven
are freed from their chains
i'm watching you burn
from the other side

you hold the phone in your hand
and as your lips move
i realize this is hell
not your side of the glass;
mine.

i drop the phone call
the phone clattering against
my seat
and i turn,
walking away

listening but
i can't hear you screaming

"i'll be back for you." i whisper
even thought you can't hear me

they drag you back to your cell
or solitary maybe knowing you

and i drive away speedily
ready now
to join you
on the other side

the blue red lights turn hazily purple
in my rearview mirror vision
as i pull out your gun
and fire at the officers behind me

it's here
it's finally time
for me to join you
on the other side

it can't be bad as living without you
in my own personal hell
right?
