¨¨~«†&#¶##  i used to be a goth, in my youth, doing ##¶#&†«~¨¨
¨~«†&#¶###  crimes mostly from or in my beloved and ###¶#&†«~¨
¨¨~«†&#¶##  trusted car, and sometimes my mothers   ##¶#&†«~¨¨
¨¨¨~«†&#¶#   barn. we lived just outside town, a    #¶#&†«~¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨~«†&#¶   grove at the end of a dirt road, and   ¶#&†«~¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨~«†&#   the barn was placed so you could just  #&†«~¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨~«†& make out the surrounding fields through  &†«~¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨~«†&#                the trees.                #&†«~¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨~«†&#¶                                          ¶#&†«~¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨~«†&#¶#    my car was black and loud, both the   #¶#&†«~¨¨¨
¨¨~«†&#¶##    engine and the way the parts didn't   ##¶#&†«~¨¨
¨~«†&#¶###     really stick together. i took my     ###¶#&†«~¨
¨¨~«†&#¶##  crimefriend for rides, in the dark, the ##¶#&†«~¨¨
¨¨¨~«†&#¶#   eternal dark that seemed to surround   #¶#&†«~¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨~«†&#¶   us. she seemed to cast this veil over  ¶#&†«~¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨~«†&#  everything. her black skirt reached to  #&†«~¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨~«†&   her knees but then somehow also back   &†«~¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨~«†&#   around, enveloping all my memories of  #&†«~¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨~«†&#¶            our time together.            ¶#&†«~¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨~«†&#¶#                                          #¶#&†«~¨¨¨
¨¨~«†&#¶##   there was blood everywhere. sometimes  ##¶#&†«~¨¨
¨~«†&#¶###  the blood was her red lipstick or her   ###¶#&†«~¨
¨¨~«†&#¶## checkered shirt. she was on television.  ##¶#&†«~¨¨
¨¨¨~«†&#¶#     we did crime, and we made weird      #¶#&†«~¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨~«†&#¶ structures in the barn, tall pillars of  ¶#&†«~¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨~«†&#  dark wood, ladders and plateaus, fires  #&†«~¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨~«†&  and fairy lights. we would sleep there  &†«~¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨~«†&#  and drink there and she would go in the #&†«~¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨~«†&#¶                television.               ¶#&†«~¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨~«†&#¶#                                          #¶#&†«~¨¨¨
¨¨~«†&#¶##  and then the sun came out, and she went ##¶#&†«~¨¨
¨~«†&#¶###  away. everything changed... i yearned,  ###¶#&†«~¨
¨¨~«†&#¶##   and the world became dull around me.   ##¶#&†«~¨¨
¨¨¨~«†&#¶#                                          #¶#&†«~¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨~«†&#¶    i stopped doing crime, except when    ¶#&†«~¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨~«†&#  necessarry. things somehow seemed like  #&†«~¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨~«†&   they were allright, moulded in place,  &†«~¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨~«†&#   and i loathed it ------ i missed her   #&†«~¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨~«†&#¶                 so much.                 ¶#&†«~¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨~«†&#¶#                                          #¶#&†«~¨¨¨

¨¨¨¨~«†&#¶  i searched for her, but nobody had any  ¶#&†«~¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨~«†&#    memories of her. not so much of me    #&†«~¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨~«†& either, from the time we were together.  &†«~¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨~«†&#  my mother said i kept to myself in the  #&†«~¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨~«†&#¶           barn, or in the car.           ¶#&†«~¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨~«†&#¶#                                          #¶#&†«~¨¨¨
¨¨~«†&#¶##      sometimes i could still see her     ##¶#&†«~¨¨
¨~«†&#¶###    flashing by on the tv in the barn.    ###¶#&†«~¨
¨¨~«†&#¶##     everything was black then, for a     ##¶#&†«~¨¨
¨¨¨~«†&#¶#  moment. i remembered her laugh and knew #¶#&†«~¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨~«†&#¶   we had done crimes together, that it   ¶#&†«~¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨~«†&#             had been real...             #&†«~¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨~«†&                                          &†«~¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨~«†&#                                          #&†«~¨¨¨¨¨

¨¨~«†&#¶##                                          ##¶#&†«~¨¨
¨~«†&#¶###    i died by getting shot in the head    ###¶#&†«~¨
¨¨~«†&#¶##   while ramming the fence to a military  ##¶#&†«~¨¨
¨¨¨~«†&#¶#   facility. by this time they had been   #¶#&†«~¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨~«†&#¶    chasing me for days. i lost control   ¶#&†«~¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨~«†&#   over the car, crashed it into a rock   #&†«~¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨~«†&     wall and flew out the windshield.    &†«~¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨~«†&#                                          #&†«~¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨~«†&#¶   and then i got up, and looked around.  ¶#&†«~¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨~«†&#¶#   it was dark, where it previously had   #¶#&†«~¨¨¨
¨¨~«†&#¶##    been a bright day. around me where    ##¶#&†«~¨¨
¨~«†&#¶###   dozens of crashed cars, all my car,    ###¶#&†«~¨
¨¨~«†&#¶##               some on fire.              ##¶#&†«~¨¨
¨¨¨~«†&#¶#                                          #¶#&†«~¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨~«†&#¶       the ground was sticky, red.        ¶#&†«~¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨~«†&#                                          #&†«~¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨~«†&   and then i realized that i knew this   &†«~¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨~«†&#     darkness. i knew the way the sky     #&†«~¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨~«†&#¶  touched the ground. this was her doing! ¶#&†«~¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨~«†&#¶#              she was here!               #¶#&†«~¨¨¨
