Through the Singularity
By Stranger
It is as though my gaze
Is being pulled from my eyes
Into the darkness
I struggle against fate
As madness gives way to peace
I think of you
As the pinpricks of my flesh leaving me
Become a flash of pure black
--
I awaken from my death
In a world not so different as before
Desperate, lost creatures
Rising up from the mire
Shouting at the sky for answers
Looking to mirrors for love
Dreaming of an end to pain
Plotting to overthrow destiny
I think of you, again
And this new universe
Becomes crystal and steel and permanent
I think of you
And I am still right here
As we have been, always

Did you by any chance see/read The Watchmen recently? This reminds me very much of a scene/character from it. (Won't spoil it for you if you haven't seen/read it; if you have, you'll know what I mean.) Love the imagery, in any case. And "plotting an overthrow of destiny" - something about that line really appeals to me. It's the mix of the heroic and the desperate, I think. But then, I suppose they always mix together, one way or another.
