| Down there I saw her again last night Last night when I had escaped Down there Tears would burn my eyes As I had wondered What she might have been like I had never known her name Had never seen her likeness anywhere except In my head Yet I will always carry this dull ache This dead weight And no one to share my grief with Down there. |

| I was deep...deep in the void under the sea Drifting in the subzero mists...down there... In the dreamless depths We met there...down there...in the deeps My god ...it was cold...so cold and so dark And we almost touched...I tasted her breath... We almost kissed...down there... Down there in the abysmal deeps... And she waits for me still Down there Where neither time is measured in years Down there...in the infinite night and silence Unheard by human ears A silent secret of unfathomed violence And unremembered fears "You have been my only friend in this existence we Call 'life'--the only soul to sense and seek through the virus I Call 'living'---we shall meet again... perhaps in unremembered dreams We will meet again Down there... |
