Nothing in Between

This is from an upcoming work of fiction titled, “The Disappeared.” The lead character is a songwriter, and this is meant to be one of his works.

——————-

Here I sit, all by myself,
Far from were I belong.
Infinite night before my eyes,
stretching to the beyond.
The more I look,
the more that I see,
there is nothing in between.

Nothing, no nothing
Nothing in between you and me
You and me (x2)

So, It may seem like I am gone,
beyond all hope of return.
But I can feel your heart break,
as if it were my own.
For the song of life, that sings for me,
also sings for you.

All of space,
all of time, you and I,
entangled by love,
shall always be as one.

There’s nothing, no nothing
Nothing in between
Nothing in between, you and me
You and me

So baby don’t be cryin’.
Don’t fret while I am gone.
Cuz the light that brings the dawn,
is the light that brings me home.
So, if you’re worried where I be,
just holler at the sun,
and I’ll come running, running,
running to where your are.

For there is nothing, no nothing
Nothing in between
Nothing in between you and me
You and me

I’m coming home to you, my love.
That you can believe
Cuz nothing, no nothing
can stand in between
You and me (x2)

Nothing, No Nothing can stand
in between, you and me
you and me.

Aliens

This is an excerpt from a new work of fiction, “The Disappeared” due out early 2023. Some of the chapters are preceded by lyrics or poems intended to be authored by the characters. “Alien” is the creative work of the male protagonist.

_____________

Alien, alien, alien, alien, alien, alien, alien,
Everywhere aliens
I’m an alien
You’re an alien
Living among aliens
In an alien land
If where you live
Is not not your own
What is a home
alien, alien, alien, alien, alien, alien, alien,
Alien at home
Native abroad, acting at home
while roaming in someone else’s dome
alien, alien, alien, alien, alien, alien, alien,

Welcome to Alien Land!
Thank you for visiting
Ya sneaky bastards.
Aliens in alien lands
With their weird alien hands
They try to get in
Steal you skin
Then the fun really begins
As the slip their little alien things in everyone they see
alien, alien, alien, alien, alien, alien, alien

Legal by claim
But whose to say
Everyone’s an alien these days
So point at the mirror
And ask the person you see,
“Who the fuck could you be?”

You an alien, mother fucker!
You’re an alien alien alien alien!
alien, alien, alien, alien, alien, alien, alien,
ALIEN!
