Night Vale:
Aliens are real
and you’ve probably laid next to one for a night
abductions are real
Do you think people on their own will
decided in a night
they no longer love you?
Alien Abductions are real
and you’ve probably laid unconscious
pretending to be innocent while one happened
laying unconscious is not sleep
no one, really, ever sleeps
we all just
stop existing
where we are
and explore string theory
string theory
like existentialism
only exist at night
the nights you think you don’t dream
are just universes completely void and empty
unimpressed with your existence
and refusing to come alive
they all say behind your back
as it’s the only available way to talk
“you, are no God.”
sometimes
we are not enough
and we reject this
by saying nothing
by calling it nothing
by not recognizing the nothing
as our own insignificance to anyone but our self
people, do not stop loving you suddenly
people, will always love you
with some part of themself
unless they are aliens
and even then
the aliens will love you
leaving you, is a form of love
love will always die
like a beautiful animal
hunted to extinction
forever cupid-arrow
stuck through the body
wounded
you
are like a tree in this simile
the way your body continues to grow around
such life threatening objects
pierced though you
becoming bigger and stronger
until gravity decides to keep you right there
as you will keep people you try not to love anymore
right there
you
the reader
are motioning with your hands now
“right
here”
you say alongside my voice
where did you touch?
Did your finger go through the hole in your chest too?
