2:19 Tomorrow; Window Watching by Nate Ritchie

2:19 Tomorrow

When I escape this Nightmare,

I’ll be onto the next.

Nothing ever changes,

not for the better.

I wonder why I hope.

I wonder why I leave.

I guess it’s human nature,

wanting for something more.

A shame life is losing

this, that,

whoever you love,

all you love.

You lose until you’re alone.

Inside, at the least.

When life is all you have,

you lose that too.

You won’t even know

the last nightmare’s end.

Death is cruel like that.

You don’t get the satisfaction

of a hard-fought conclusion,

a deserved sense of bliss.

You, your struggle,

you only get forgotten.

Window Watching

Ninety-two shattered windows.

Looking for someone

in any one.

Gone over the photo

one thousand times.

Won’t stop me from looking

one thousand more.

Looking for that

ah-ha moment.

See? See!

There is someone

watching from the darkness

beyond the windows.

I was right all along -

That’s what I’ll say.

Need to keep looking.

I’ll find someone.

There’s always someone.

Where there are windows,

there are unwanted eyes

looking in on you

or out upon you.
