Alphaville

TOO CLOSE.

(not enough)

INSANELY FAR

(perhaps it's your intention)

LIKENED TO FALL

(isn't that your girlfriend's newest tattoo)

MY HEART JUMPS

(remembering how we used to listen by sharing headset)

YOU SMELLED LIKE HOME

(perhaps I wasn't quite good at finding a new one)

YOU WERE SERIES OF BLACK HOLES AND SUPERNOVAS

(still are--mighty and powerful)

MY HANDS ARE EMPTY

(searching for the embodiment of my undying wish, the touch of a lover)

FAST FORWARDING

(the blurry figures still urging me to find you)

SUBSTITUTE IS COMING

(a complete stranger holding a briefcase filled with the void of his past and the darkness of his soul)

(should I open it up and let it consume me wholly?)

ADIEU
