Space Dementia


Mmmmm,
Height � is the one for me
It gives me all I need
And helps me coexist
With the chill


�It�s been three years since I last saw him. Three years tomorrow, actually. It�s not that I can�t let go; I have. I�ve moved on.
Hah, but the ironic thing is, I know he hasn�t; he�s still the same person he always was.
Even though I haven�t actually seen him in person, of course I�ve seen him on TV. With her�
Always solemn and silent, glaring eyes downcast and his hand poised, hovering just above the gun holster on his belt. But he doesn�t appear to be so full of hidden violence anymore. Since the war ended, all of us have had a hard time becoming accustomed to peace. Being trained as a living weapon takes its toll when weapons become outlawed. Most of us have had it okay since then, I myself certainly don�t miss war. Although having said that, I�m still not, well, settled I guess. I know I�ve coped better than some, but it�s not really any consolation.
Anyway, I�m getting off track. I�d like to see him now� heh, see if he still hates me�
I wonder if he ever married her? God I hope not, I think that�s the one thing I couldn�t cope with. Bad enough that he�s her bodyguard.

I�m such a fool.
You make me sick
Because I adore you so
I love all the dirty tricks
And twisted games you play
On me


Why can�t I just leave it alone? I think�that if I ever want to put it behind me, I�ll have to go to the Earth. To him. See that I�m not needed, and most of all, not wanted.
That wouldn�t bother me, I guess. I am used to it, after all.
But even so�
I know what I have to do. The I can finally get on with my life, right?�and not always be wondering, what if?
I know it�s probably a bad idea. Hell, I�m always full of them. Guess it�s part of my nature. But I�m going to do it. Even if it means being pushed away and patronised. Just like he always did.

Space dementia in your eyes and
Peace will arise
And tear us apart
And make us meaningless again


Well, I�m back and it�s over. It�was different to how I thought it would be, but the end result was, of course, the same.
I didn�t really expect it to turn out differently, but I always had a vague hope� I don�t really know what for. Something I suppose I�ve never admitted before, event to myself.
�So when I arrived on Earth, I went to find him. Well, not actually him, because that would�ve been damn near impossible, knowing what he�s like. So instead, I just found her. Not so hard � can�t really hide the whereabouts of someone that famous. Because after all, where she was, he�d be sure to follow. Might as well be her goddamn shadow for all the time they spend together.
I finally saw him, three years to the day after we had parted, and he didn�t even care. God I wish I could hate him. He just kind of mumbled at me for a while, and then made up some kind of pathetic excuse about how he had to go and do something really important. Bastard. He hasn�t changed a bit.
I must�ve looked like such a fool, just standing there staring after him in disbelief. It had been three years and he didn�t even show the slightest flicker of emotion when I purposefully came to see him. Well, maybe that�s a lie. He did look kind of surprised.

                *               *               *

Once again I�m at a loose end. I thought about maybe going and visiting the ruins of Maxwell Church, but then that would just depress me even more. I don�t think I could face the memories. God I wish things could be like they were before. I was happy once, for a while before the church was destroyed. Things were simple when I was a kid.
Even before the war ended it wasn�t so bad; I knew who I was, what I was doing, and I had a purpose in life. We all did.
I guess a part of me died with the end of the war.
I sit in my dingy apartment room, the rain running down the window, watching the grey clouds casting a dark shadow over the area below. I don�t even know why I�m writing this. Just for the sake of it I guess, got nothing better to do. I�ve thought about getting another job�the scrap yard thing didn�t last long, but I don�t really feel I�m ready to have an normal life yet, even after all this time. Often, I wish I had managed to self-destruct.
Yeah�that option sounds pretty appealing, even now.

Mmm, yeah
You�ll make us wanna die
I�d cut your name in my heart
We�ll destroy this world for you
I know you want me to
Feel your pain


I sit down on the creaky bed in the darkened room, the only light coming from the occasional flashes of lightning outside. The thunder rumbles.
My hand is shaking as I unscrew the lid of the pill bottle. I hate myself, still. Hate myself for being such a coward.
My chestnut hair flows down my back. I never could bring myself to cut it after what happened at the church. I take a deep breath and gaze around at my dismal room; at what my life has come to. This is it.
I shake some of the pills into my quivering hand, bring it to my mouth, swallow them. And again. And again. And the it�s empty.
I feel myself growing lethargic, blackness fringes the edge of my vision.

Guess this is the end. I am Shinigami, after all. And I�m glad.

Space dementia in your eyes and
Venus will arise
And tear us apart
And make us meaningless again.
