Pulled

ah, here at last.

i was wondering what took so long.

don't worry,

here time feels like that,

won't last long.

you are stuck in the in-between.

time here is slow

you landed because you were very fast

and your body sort of crashed

no, there is nothing you can do to speed it up

let's wrap things up already

I've got places to be, work to do

no, no

it doesn't work like that

i wish it did

but then i don't

because i know when i get to that place

the home i will remember

is this one

where time did not exist

and somehow,

by mischance or illicit intent

you pulled yourself

out

you actually pulled yourself out!

my friend, it hurts to see sunlight when you've been held in a dungeon under a deadly course,

until they gave you the key,

indeed, at some point in time

you became your own enemy

both the groundskeeper and the guilty party

the worn captain with the broken knee

repeating the plea, but lost at sea

time stopped to go

i know, i know

we'll make it out

we always do.
