SPACE BETWEEN
Would you give your life to save me
From the space between the space?
A place where worlds bounce us from place to place.
Punishment for sins long forgotten
Crimes they say we have committed
The guardians do not listen to our pleas
No innocent is ever sent here, they say
They wait for you to be beguiled
By the beauty in some of these worlds
I have passed through ugly worlds
Where people suffer unimaginable torment
Too hideous to be written here
So far, my time here has been uneventful
I hear snatches of conversation
Some hunger for food that never comes
Others try to kill each other
My innocence falls on deaf ears
If I am snatched from one of these worlds
I will be lost forever, with no hope
Of being sent back to my own world
I heard someone say that one day
An innocent will come to rescue those trapped here
Is one enough to explode these worlds apart?
Is there an innocent to come looking for me
One who would be brave enough to step into Purgatory?
