I walk toward the world's largest movie screen.
Where all gather to view their dreams, hopes, and memories.
And fantasies.

But I walk past them all.
Past the crowd.
Away from the people.

To the side of the screen.
To the edge, where no one has ever been.

I peek behind, where no one has ever seen.
And what I see, I must share.

So I run.
Through them all.
Through their stares, and glares.
To you.

I brought you back with me.
I had to show you.

That it will all be over soon.
That me must make the best use of our time.

Behind the screen, there is a tear in the sky.
It had grown larger in the time I was gone.

Now we can both see through.
But we're not looking out into a void.
What we see, is the inside of us all.

Hell is not a lake of fire, and sulfer stone.
It's the exposed nerves, of segmented emotions.
This is how true pain lasts forever.

I asked you to stay with me till the end,
but in your eyes I saw forthcoming failure.
You turned, and walked away.

Without a thought I grabed hold of the frame,
And I climbed.

From behind.
Up the bracing, and cross-members, that were here
befor time itself.

At the top, I can feel whats comeing through, on my back.
But I pause, to look over one last time.
I allow myself one selfish moment to look for you.
I scan the sea of bodies, and faces, hopeing
for one last look, into your eyes.

But you were gone.
I guess I'm not the best use of your time.

Now I turn.
Brace myself, and leap.

I grab tightly to the fabric of the sky.
Allow myself to be pulled through,
then from behind, I stretch, and grasp the other side.

I dig my nails in, and with all the strength
I've ever had, I pull it tight, and close to me.

For you, and everyone, I'll do the impossable.

I'll stay forever.
I'll never leave.
I'll never give up.
I'll never rest.

For everyone,
and for you.
All alone.
I won't let go.

I'll never let go.
