The Great Beyond

She waits for me there Just there, over there Just beyond the tip of my outstretched arm Just beyond the gaze of my mind’s eye I see her, waiting for me, looking at me with those big blue eyes Bluer than the sky, more infinite than space I know if I could just be with her it would all be okay If I could talk to her I would say all the right things If I could touch her dark red skin, she would understand And then the world would melt away as I melted into those big blue eyes Somewhere in the great beyond. But I cannot be with her Because every time I try to touch her I end up having to buy a new screen.
