EPTNow it's dark and you have lost him.
Hopelessly, now you've lost yourself
A gasping breath as you sob,
sobbing with no tears.
shaking,
your body trembles-
what will you do now
Mai?
-
‘I don't..’
‘I just want him back’
Impossible
He's in front of you
His remains are all that you see
He doesn't even have skin and bones
He doesn't even have a mouth to speak
He doesn't have a heart that beats
Though you have all but what is replaceable
But is what you have left redeemable?
Is what you're wanting to bring him to life?
But really would he even be alive if all of him is replaced
You can only replace so much and have the same person,
What are you willing to risk,
What are you risking
If you have nothing left?
Is your brother
Going to be brought back
Or is it going to be someone else?
who are you bringing back
Your brother
Or his memory?
your colourless face blends into the colourless room the moon has flooded
His memory is in your hands
You're holding your brother
Why can't you feel his heart pulsing
If you were to bring him back
Would he be a robot
A robot with no heart
All that he would be
Is an empty shell
With no heart that beats
No skin to cut
No warmth
Your brother
Would have to die
Again.
If he was brought back.
He would only die once more
And would you bring him back once more
so he can die
Over
And over again?
Making it that much harder to let him go
…
Mai, what are you doing?
