Spiral

I awaken in my bed

Alone as always

I go about my day

Traveling worlds, starting stories.

Deja vu washes over me

As I see her pretty face,

Her smile lights up my world

Even after I’ve lost everything.

Why does she look so familiar

I don’t care, it’s love at first sight

I wait for the elevator on the left

But she gets on the one to my right,

So I change my direction

And we descend down together

On the elevator she smiles at me again

And I almost start to remember.

Destiny. That’s her name she saids

How coincidental because she’s mine

And when we exit the elevator

It plays tricks on my mind.

We live a life in weeks,

Then to the old world we go

Where we could live in peace

Where we could live and grow old

But even the old nation has enemies it seems

They ambush the city

And tear apart my dreams

Deja vu again, had I been here before?

We try to fight, but the fang of death takes her

As it has, as it will, many times more

I remember it now

From dreams I’d had, many nights before.

He awakens in bed,

no recollection of this all

He awakens alone,

The fleeting dreams he can’t recall.

So the cycle continues, traveling new worlds, meeting new friends. Each time a little different, each time Destiny meets her end.
