Am I alive

right now

or is this

a dream?

No.

What it is

is a nightmare

that I cannot

wake up from.

It's endless

up until

the day I die.

Maybe you've guessed it,

it's called life.

The game we all play

we are all a part of

recently i realized

that the player

named me

is not very good

at this game.

He read the rules wrong.

He thought it said

that him and player her

were destined to be

but since he has

failed the game

it shows that

they are not

in fact

meant to be.

But me is determined.

He would go

to the far ends

of the Earth

to get her back.

So he hacks the game

looking for

the data that says

him and her

are not meant to be

but what he finds

is much less rewarding...

it is her.

She won't allow

him to cheat.

She doesn't want

him to change

the game

to his liking.

So he walks away

leaving her

forever

but he can't

pass the level

that he is on.

It's too hard a puzzle

for him to

figure out

and move on.
