Chapter 937


They Are Crying


John tried to take it all in what he witnessed from the drone footage. He could see it was more than foolhardiness. There was determination and bravery there. It was courage like he just witnessed, which sooner or later got people killed on the battlefield. One could only be lucky so many times before their luck ran out.

"I still find it hard to believe." John said. "How can a teenage do what we just saw? What has Cameron done to Young Allison?"

John Henry thought the answer was quite simple. Cameron never made the girls do anything they didn't want to do. She allowed them to find the greatness within themselves. She may have shown them the door, but the girls always walked through the door on their own. They did it with open eyes.

"Cameron's allowed Young Allison to be all she can be." John Henry said. "They're the same things she's done 'with' Savannah, not 'to'. You know they're no longer teenagers, other than in the years they've lived on Earth. They are both far beyond their 'age'. They are superior to most 'adults' in knowledge and ability."

John thought they may lack some of the experience of adults. As far as combat, Savannah acquired a lot of experience. It was clear Young Allison was itching to do so as well. He wondered if he could ask Cameron to tone it down some. These poor girls were never going to have anything which looked like a 'normal' life.

In retrospect, he was able to see how hard his mother tried to give him a 'normal' life. She tried very hard to allow him to grow up like any other child, and then any teenager. Skynet always got in the way at some point. It always irritated him when they needed to move. He just wanted to stay in one place and be like everybody else. It was simply impossible. His mother understood it. He didn't at the time. He regretted the way he treated his mother over her decisions at the time. He was just a punk kid and didn't know any better, even if he should have. His main concern was about himself and the things which inconvenienced him.

He looked around at the four walls of the Command Center. It looked like he finally got his wish. He was well aware of the saying, 'Be careful what you wish for'. He was in one place all the time now. There were times he hated being in the same place all the time, doing the same thing. It was his life now. He would really like to get away from it all for a while. There was no way he could do it. He remembered when he ridiculed Cameron when she told him those same words. It was right before they needed to rough up Mr. Ellison in his house about the missing Terminator chassis which disappeared from Mexico. Mr. Ellison lied to them at the time. Cromartie's chassis later resurfaced as John Henry.

Cameron knew he was lying and wanted to kill him at the time. He told her not to. He didn't feel Mr. Ellison was a threat to them. He didn't know about his association with Mrs. Weaver, or any of the 'projects' occurring in the lower level of her building.

John looked over at John Henry and remembered what his chassis looked like after Future Derek, Sarah, and Cameron took Cromartie down inside of the church in Mexico. He was severely damaged at the time. He looked at it now and saw it was perfect. He remembered it was actually damaged much worse than Cameron's chassis was. Now he thought of another one of his failures. He knew the same thing happened with Cameron after he foolishly got her shot up in the jail to break his mother out. All they needed to do was wait a couple of days until they transported her back to a mental institution. He shook his head to clear it. He needed to concentrate on the girls in Nevada and the excessive training he believed Cameron forced upon them.

"I'm going to have a talk with Cameron about this." John said.

John Henry noticed John was staring at him for a short time. He wondered what it was about. He hoped he hadn't done something to offend John. He quickly checked his screens to make sure nothing showed on them of any of the activity the female Terminators were involved in. Sheila sent him many files so he could review activities concerning females. He always said it was part of his 'research' in an attempt to further understand how females thought and operated.

He did realize he spent a lot of time looking at every minute detail on each of the females Sheila sent him files of. He was very well acclimated to which images belonged to whom. He spent hours comparing the Metal girls to the human girls. He hoped one day to get a 'close up' view of them himself. Until Cameron changed her policies about male and female Terminator interaction, it wouldn't be possible. He wasn't going to risk deactivation when he could simply 'take matters into his own hands', as he normally did. His research was extensive.

He thought John should think things through a little further before he made a big deal about anything. Cameron was in control of all the females in the Resistance in one way or another, even through her surrogates. She oversaw everything which happened in their lives, even if she was in the background. He wanted to give John fair warning of what was going to happen if he confronted Cameron over this issue.

"I believe you'll need to make advances at Savannah sooner than you think." John Henry said. "Cameron won't tolerate your criticism of her upbringing of the girls. She'll 'punish' you."

John hoped Cameron didn't 'cut him off' again. She punished him the same way before. It did make him appreciate her more when relations resumed. He always needed to remember her 'feelings' too. He usually didn't. He knew it was more than just him blowing her off as a cyborg who didn't have real feelings. He knew she did. It seemed to be more carelessness on his part, or lack of concern. It was something he would need to work on. He knew he wouldn't be able to treat the human females the same way. He was sure the results would be much worse for him if he did. It made him wonder how much closer Cameron was able to 'reach into his family'.

"What else is new? Is she doing this with my sister?" John asked. "Are Jan and Summer being subjected to the same 'training'?"

John Henry really didn't want to rehash the same issues again. Nothing changed since the last five times he went over them with John. He didn't think it was an issue to dwell on for multiple reasons. He would try to stick with the facts to make things clearer.

"We've been over this before." John Henry said. "Everything they learn protects them in the future. I really don't think you want to hear about when each of the girls is held down by a group of men, and they all take a few turns with them. Any training Cameron can provide may help prevent it from ever happening to them. We all know what Vanna and Jesse needed to go through when they were younger. Cameron never wants to see it happen again."

John didn't want to get upset at John Henry. He was only doing his job and following orders, mostly Cameron's orders.

"Let's drop it." John said. "I know I asked Young Allison to 'help' me earlier."

John Henry was pretty sure Young Allison was going to be a lot more active in Resistance matters going forward. He was pretty sure John would like to see her a little more active in his bedroom. He was aware Cameron would allow Savannah and Young Allison to be there at any time, if it's where they wanted to be. He actually believed Young Allison would be there before Savannah. He knew Savannah was willing to try it once, or even a few times, just to see what it was like. He didn't believe it would be what she would desire going forward based upon Vanna's preferences.

"I have a pretty good idea you'll seek her assistance again before this operation is concluded." John Henry said. "We really don't know anymore than we did before. I don't think we're near the end of this operation. I'm not even sure it's really even started yet."

John agreed with John Henry's assessment. He was pretty sure before the operation ended, there was going to be a massive underground nuclear explosion. If it wasn't from the H-bomb Cammy and Sheila thought they put there a half-century ago, it was going to be from the missing nuclear weapons they believed the Grays took from the nearby Air Force Base. He was positive Cameron would detonate at least one of those weapons before the day was through. He just hoped she wasn't standing next to it when the event occurred. He hoped even more it wouldn't be Savannah or Young Allison who was. Right now he wanted to know what they scored in the big rigs. He hoped it was more HK equipment.

"I'm very worried about it as well." John said. "If I need help or assistance, I'm going to listen very carefully to what's provided. We've received a lot of good help over the last two days. I want a report on what's in the trucks, if anything."

John Henry thought he should have received a report by now from at least one of the teams in the back of the three trucks. He now began to wonder if Cameron would report everything they found in the back of those trucks.

"I'll check with Cameron and the Metal girls." John Henry said.

John watched the drone footage of all the girls at work. He wanted some answers.

"Do it." John said.

John wanted to be angrier, but just couldn't be for some reason. He was more impressed than angry at Young Allison. How could anyone chastise her for such an act of bravery? No matter how anyone looked at it, it still took a lot of 'cojones' to do it. He knew it was done for a specific reason. It was to keep the big rigs in the target zone. It was exactly how it played out for the team.

He hoped she would be back as an older teenager the next time Cameron 'punished' him. He was sure things would happen. He was really looking forward to it. He looked at some close up drone images of both Anna and Young Allison as they faced off with the big rigs. He really liked the way she looked right now. If Cameron put her in his bed the way she currently was, he planned to take advantage of it. It was going to happen anyway so what difference did it make when it happened?

Wait.

Those were Cameron's words to him on multiple occasions. Maybe he heard them so often he believed them now himself. He knew it's the way it was. He remembered there was a president in the Nineties where there was a lot of deception and lying. The theory was, the more the people heard the 'Big Lie', the more they accepted it as reality. The media went right along with it and was part of it.

He glanced over at John Henry screens to see if maybe the movie was on one of them.


Young Allison headed towards the trucks once their embrace was over.

Savannah thought Young Allison would remain with the Cessna. It wasn't the case.

"Where are you going?" Savannah asked.

Young Allison looked back over her shoulder as she continued to walk.

"I'm going to go and help them." Young Allison said. "It doesn't get done thinking about it."

Savannah was worried there could be danger at the trucks for Young Allison. As far as they knew, there could be some booby traps or some other toxic danger involved.

"You don't even know what's in the trucks." Savannah said.

Young Allison paused and waited for Savannah to join her.

"It's why we need to look, silly." Young Allison said. "We're here, we can help. We can do more than just stand around. I feel like I'm holding you back right now. I want you to do the things you normally do and I will follow you."

Savannah was surprised at Young Allison's attitude. It wasn't what she expected at all after the close encounter Young Allison just experienced. She could tell Young Allison was going to be a handful. She wondered if she could 'order' two of the Metal girls to physically remove Young Allison from the area and take her back home. She didn't want her around there, especially if there was the chance of an H-bomb going off. If there was actually a C-bomb involved, it would only make it worse.

Young Allison could tell Savannah wanted to 'order' her away. She wouldn't allow it.

"I know what you're thinking." Young Allison said. "Is it what you would want me to do to you? We are equal."

Savannah knew she developed a lot more experience in several categories than Young Allison did. Those categories stretched from combat to love making.

"Are we?" Savannah asked.

Savannah wondered what would happen if she gave an 'order' and Young Allison countermanded it. She just heard Young Allison change Cameron's 'command' to fire the two missiles. It was obeyed. She thought in a showdown, Cammy would back her. She knew Gail would too. Everyone else she didn't know…. It didn't seem like a good idea to find out for multiple reasons.

Young Allison didn't want to pick a fight with Savannah. She knew Savannah was concerned for her safety. She was concerned for Savannah safety and everyone else's too. Everyone worried about everyone else. It's just the way it was. She wanted to make herself clear to Savannah so there wouldn't be any problems going forward.

"We're equal." Young Allison said. "I don't want to be a problem. I want you to understand I'm not leaving here without you today. If you want me to go, I'll go with you right now. We can take the Cessna and fly away. We both know it's not going to happen. We need to be here to protect Cameron. We don't know from what exactly, but we both know it's what we need to do. If you don't think it's the case, you tell me right now."

Savannah could see there was no point in arguing about it. Young Allison was correct with everything she stated. It actually hit a little close to home.

"OK, Allison." Savannah said.

Young Allison flashed her beautiful smile at Savannah.

"Thank you." Young Allison said.

Young Allison was about to continue on her way to go to the trucks.

Savannah needed to ask her some questions. It was something very important. She tried not to think about it earlier as they waited for the truck to arrive. The trucks were there now, the Metal girls were dealing with them.

"Stop…." Savannah said. "There's something I need to discuss with you."

Young Allison looked slightly annoyed. She thought Savannah was scheming to get her to leave still.

Savannah took out the note they found inside Cammy.

"Is this your handwriting?" Savannah asked.

Young Allison took a moment to study the writing. It looked like her writing, but not quite.

"It looks more like Allison's handwriting." Young Allison said. "Wait, we cross our 'T' at a different angle. Cameron made me do it when I was little. It might be mine after all. Where did it come from?"

Young Allison still wasn't quite sure. She would need to see more.

Savannah still felt a sense of doom about whatever the note was about.

"None of us has read it yet." Savannah said. "We all agreed it looked like your handwriting. It's going to change the future in some way if we do read it."

Savannah explained where the note came from, what they knew so far, and what the possible outcomes were. None of them looked promising.

Young Allison needed to think about it. If she read the note she wrote in the past, it was going to change what they did in the present or future. She hadn't been in the future or the past yet. She decided to read it. She wouldn't have written it by hand and placed it inside of Cammy if it wasn't something important. She decided the best course of action was to go ahead and read it now. Savannah's warning about how it was going to change the future in some way bothered her immensely. They needed to find out what it was. She needed to find out what she was responsible for. Based upon what they knew so far, it seemed like a lot. She held out her hand.

"Let me have it." Young Allison said. "Please. We need to know what we're about to face."

Savannah started to hand the note to Young Allison but hesitated.

"Remember, this is going to change the future." Savannah said.

Young Allison noted Savannah's reluctance to release the note. There needed to be a good reason for it.

"What do you think it will say?" Young Allison asked.

Savannah looked into Young Allison's face.

"I think it will say Cameron or I were most likely terminated." Savannah said. "It may or may not explain the circumstances. A lot of effort went into keeping this note secret until now. I'm not even sure if we're supposed to see it at this time, or in the future from now. I don't mean the far off future either. I think it's all tied into what happened earlier in Las Vegas. I don't know if the involvement of the Syndicate was originally part of it or not. Theoretically it should be. We don't know."

What she heard so far is all Young Allison needed to hear to want to alter the future. She didn't want anything terminal involving Cameron or Savannah. She couldn't let anything happen to them. She loved both of them deeply. Savannah was her true love. They were together now. They were going to share their lives going forward. They should share whatever the present offered them

"Read it with me." Young Allison said. "We're equal, Savannah. We'll do this together…."

They both knew they would do a lot of things together in the future….

It's if there still was a future for both of them.


Earlier:

Holly tried to stop Cameron from glitching and end up in a 'bad' place.

Cameron's hand stopped glitching.

"I'm OK, Holly." Cameron said. "Thank you."

Holly looked at Cameron with a very serious look on her face.

"I'm always here for you, Cameron." Holly said.

Cameron couldn't help but remember what happened to Holly in her future. She didn't want Holly in the combat zone she was sure would take place before the day was through.

"Yes you always have been too." Cameron said. "I need someone to fly the plane out of here and get it off the road."

Cameron thought of the time period when Duplicate Cameron shared chip space with Holly for fifteen months. She possessed all of those files now. Holly kept her 'alive' during the time period when everyone thought she was terminated on the 'Day Of Loss'.

Holly looked at Cameron for a long moment. She realized Cameron wanted her away from the immediate area. She didn't want to feel like she was running out on everyone. It was the way it seemed it would be.

"Are you asking me or telling me?" Holly asked.

Cameron didn't want to get specific. She didn't tell Holly the real reason.

"I'd like to ask." Cameron said. "You might have more luck to get Young Allison to go with you. I don't think she will. It will need to be done by someone. We could always draw straws or something similar if it's a problem."

Holly knew there was more to it than what Cameron actually said. She encountered similar behavior a few times before. Allison was sure something happened to her when she was in Cameron's future. All of her records indicated Cameron pulled her out before the action started. She didn't think anything actually happened to her. She didn't know if there was some other explanation. It seemed important to Cameron right now.

"OK, Cameron." Holly said. "I'll do what you want."

Cameron pulled Holly close to her and hugged her.

"Thank you, Holly." Cameron said.

Cameron held the hug a little longer than she should have. She was still deeply troubled about what happened in her future. Another version of her program was able to create a 'temporal loop' which actually removed Holly from the action which followed, even if the 'temporal loop' contained Holly's shattered chassis and destroyed sheath.

As soon as Holly exited the back of the truck, Cameron's hand started to glitch even more as she thought about the damage she did to Holly before. The horrific images were as fresh in her mind as if they just occurred. The images as Holly begged her to 'finish it' still haunted her. She was the one in control of Holly's chassis and damaged it to the extent it was unrepairable. She needed to do it to protect the Connor Compound. Future John and Savannah were there. So were Future Savannah and Future Allison along with their babies, Joy and Destiny. She needed to push Holly's chassis beyond the limits. She shook her head to clear it.

John wanted an update. No information came through yet. He decided to ask.

"Cameron, what have you found so far?" John asked.

Cameron looked around the interior of the trailer. She was very dissatisfied at what she found, or in this case didn't find.

"I've found nothing so far." Cameron said. "There's nothing in this trailer. I can't see anything of relevance."

John wondered if it was true or not. He thought Cameron could have found something but didn't want to tell him what it was. If it was something she wanted to take for herself, he was sure she would do it. Maybe he could get a straight answer from some of the other Metal girls.

"Let me check with the other teams." John said.

Cameron listened to them all check in. They all reported negative on any contraband. She didn't believe it. She believed there was something there. The Syndicate tie in was in the back of her mind.

"We're missing something." Cameron said. "We're taking these trucks out into the desert and tearing them apart. We will strip them down to the parts they were constructed from."

John thought it sounded a little extreme, even for Cameron.

"Is it necessary?" John asked.

Cameron was worried about the nuclear weapons. She hoped to find them in the trucks. If they weren't in the trucks, there's only one other place they could be.

"With unaccounted nuclear weapons it is." Cameron said. "If they're not hidden here, they're already in the mine. They could be encased in Cobalt and strapped to HK drones as we speak. You know what happens next if they are."

John understood her worry. If the missing nuclear weapons were already in the mine, they were probably already encased in Cobalt. Skynet could launch its attack at any point.

"They could have the C-bombs already made." John said.

Cameron understood the seriousness of the issue on several levels.

"I'm afraid these trucks were going to be used to transport them away." Cameron said. "If they're already built, they could be detonated in a moment's notice. Surface detonations would be bad enough. If they get them up into the atmosphere, it's 'Game Over', quite literally."

John realized the seriousness of the issue as well.

"It puts everyone in danger there." John said.

Cameron wanted to make sure John saw the overall picture, not what he was probably thinking about. She was well aware of what he wanted from Savannah and Young Allison.

"It puts half the planet in danger, John, not just Savannah and Allison - Young Allison." Cameron said.

John was caught off guard by Cameron's statement. He didn't mention any names even if he may have thought them. He thought there was a difference and wanted to make a distinction.

"I didn't say that." John said.

Cameron smiled to herself. She knew it's what he was thinking. She knew because she personally put the idea into his head every time they were alone together. She made sure it wasn't only part of his 'nightly conditioning', but part of Savannah's and Young Allison's as well. She wanted the best for John. She wanted him to have what she was sure she wasn't able to give him. She wanted what was best for the girls as well.

"I know what you were thinking." Cameron said. "We've been associated for quite some time now, if you catch my drift."

John didn't want to discuss the issue any further with Cameron. He certainly didn't want anyone else to hear about it. He wanted to concentrate on her earlier suggestion.

"Take the trucks and head into the desert." John said. "Tear them apart. Do you have tools?"

John would rather have Cameron do it than try to enter the mine.

Cameron still needed to check up on a few things herself.

"Did Cromartie have tools when he tore the bank vault door apart?" Cameron asked. "I'll make the arrangements. I have other plans."

It wasn't the response John hoped to hear. His worry continued. He wondered what her plans were.


Savannah and Young Allison saw Holly headed their way.

Young Allison figured she knew what was coming. She was surprised it took so long for it to occur. She would play out the scenario and see how it went.

"Hello, Holly." Young Allison said.

Holly smiled and both of the girls as they all embraced each other.

"Hello, Allison." Holly said. "I need to fly the plane away. Cameron wants it returned to where it came from. Will you come with me?"

Young Allison quickly glanced at Savannah before she looked back at Holly.

"Did you draw the short straw?" Young Allison asked.

Holly frowned a little. She didn't like being the only one 'sent away'.

"No." Holly said. "Cameron handed me the short straw in so many words. She assigned me to do this. I'm not sure why. It makes me feel like I'm running out on everyone. I don't like being sent away."

Holly lifted the front of the Cessna and rotated it around back in the direction it landed from and then climbed inside.

"Are you coming?" Holly leaned out and asked. "Come get your vest and Anna's vest if you're not."

Young Allison walked over to collect her equipment.

"No." Young Allison said. "I'm needed here."

Young Allison slipped her vest on as Savannah took Anna's vest and M-4.

They watched as the plane started and took off.

Savannah watched the exchange which went down.

"Holly didn't look very happy with her assignment." Savannah said.

Young Allison looked around to make sure nobody could hear.

"Cameron's protecting her." Young Allison said.

Savannah was a little confused by her statement.

"What's Cameron protecting her from?" Savannah asked.

Young Allison remembered when Allison came to her. Allison told her she needed to 'talk to somebody' because she was very worried about Holly.

"Allison told me something happened once." Young Allison said. "It was a mission Holly went on. Allison never knew what it was, but she was convinced something went wrong. Holly has no recollection of anything bad happening to her."

Savannah wondered if Cameron used some 'temporal management' to correct the problem. She could see the benefits of its use at times.

"Maybe Cameron 'fixed' it and it never did happen to her." Savannah said. "She could have stopped it before it did."

Young Allison looked at the note she held.

"Is it what this note will do also?" Young Allison asked. "Will it 'fix' something? It seems like some abstract form of 'temporal management' as well."

Savannah wanted to know what the note said. She still dreaded whatever it might say.

"More than likely it is what this is about. The 'fix' may be to prevent something from happening as it happened." Savannah said. "I really don't know."

Young Allison was ready to see exactly what all this was about.

"Let's find out." Young Allison said.

Young Allison unfolded the note and took Savannah's hand as they read it together. They knew whatever it was would be something horrific.


Holly lifted the Cessna off the highway and into the air. She didn't like being sidelined. She was sure it's what it was. It was important to Cameron she not be there in the zone of danger.

It made her wonder.

Allison told her something happened to her which was catastrophic when she was in Cameron's future. Whatever it was, there was nothing on her chip about it and nothing was deleted or erased. She ran multiple tests and even plugged into John Henry's server for an additional check. There was nothing there to indicate anything catastrophic ever occurred to her.

Maybe it was true, and the truth of whatever it was still haunted Cameron. It was clear some of Cameron's glitching was related to it.

Holly gained some altitude and flew back over the three trucks and the girls below.

She wondered if she would ever see any of them again.

Why would Cameron spare her?

She couldn't help but think about what Allison said. Maybe Cameron couldn't spare her before. It wasn't a pleasant thought.


Cameron assigned Hanna, Cam, and Ally to drive the big rigs away.

She knew Gail wanted to remain with Savannah.

"I'll drive an SUV so Anna may remain with Young Allison." Gail said.

Cameron was pleased for all the assistance the Metal girls gave her.

"Thank you, Gail." Cameron said.

Gail felt it was her duty. The girls came first when it came to everything. She would make sure it happened.

"Everyone sacrifices for Savannah and Allison…." Gail said. "We will all sacrifice for the 'Chosen Ones'."

Cameron felt Gail was a valuable asset. She believed any of the Metal girls would do what she wanted without question. She knew Holly was a little reluctant to go, but she still did anyway.

"Thank you." Cameron said again. "Samantha will follow you and the big rigs, tear them apart. Gail, if you find what I want, you are to take control of them and only follow my orders. No one else is to interfere."

Gail could see Cameron didn't want any interference from John. It was understandable. She felt he made questionable decisions. She also knew there could be a different issue which could come into play. Both of the 'Chosen Ones' were there with them now. She decided to word her statement carefully.

"What if your orders are countermanded?" Gail asked.

They both knew Gail was talking about Savannah and Young Allison.

"Then you will follow the protocol of the future and do as they say." Cameron said. "THAT is how it must be. They're both pure at heart and will make the proper call."

Gail could see the potential for a problem developing between Savannah and Young Allison. She was unsure how to address it based on the orders she was previously given. It would be very confusing.

"What if they 'differ'?" Gail asked. "Today we saw Young Allison stand her ground as Savannah has done."

Cameron was sure at some point it was going to happen. She didn't think the girls would get into an 'order war'. It was her belief they would discuss the issue and come up with a workable solution.

"They are equal." Cameron said. "They'll work it out. It's how it must work in the future as well. They need to protect John. They need to make it all work. They will need to counterbalance John in the future and stand up to him."

Gail could see Cameron was currently a little stressed out. She wanted to give her some personal reassurance.

"They will protect you as well." Gail said. "All three of them will protect you."

Cameron silently nodded.

Gail and Samantha drove off after the big rigs with two of the SUVs.

Cameron watched them go. She was left with a very uneasy feeling of what was about to happen.

Cameron tried to hide her glitching hand. She was aware there was a lot more in play there than she knew. The current endeavor would most likely get worse before it got better, even if it could improve. She didn't think so.


Young Allison and Savannah watched Cameron approach with Cammy, Anna, and Sheila.

The girls wiped their tears away. It was time to face the present.


The Metal girls all glanced uneasily at each other.

It was evident as they approached, Savannah and Young Allison were very upset.

Sheila was very concerned.

"They are crying." Sheila said.

It was clear it was bad news at this point.

Cameron stopped.

The Metal girls stopped with her.

"Go on, Cameron, we'll wait here." Cammy said.

Anna wanted to reassure Cameron the 'Natural Order' was strong.

"They need you right now." Anna said.

Cameron looked at Cammy, Sheila, and Anna.

"I NEED them even more." Cameron said.

Cameron didn't look forward to whatever the note said.

Maybe it was time to 'pay the piper' and atone for all of her past sins.


Closing monologue by Cameron:

From Seeing The Stars

With my eyes wide open
I can only see nothingness
When I look inside of me
I can only find emptiness

Because I'm still here
Doesn't mean I haven't gone
It's already the sunset
Before there was ever a dawn

I thought I knew you
From the future to the past
Now your mind is in a fog
Your heart deeply overcast

It has become quite obvious
You won't heed my call
You have chosen a new direction
Forcing me to slip and fall

Crying eyes search the heavens
Weeping behind our avatars
Our tears can prevent us
From seeing the stars

Nobody
