Forever Gone

it’s me.
listen, something is wrong.
the trace. it went dead. two hours ago.
…
I don’t know,
everything was in place until then.
one second it was there,
and then he just disappeared.
…
don’t blame me!
I told them not to use the cheap stuff!
…
no, we have no idea.
we’ve lost him completely.
later.

listen.
we found the hotel he was staying in.
somebody must have tipped him off.
he was already gone.
…
listen! we tore down the whole place.
there was an address on a slip of paper.
it was the address of a bar.
hello? you still there? h e l l o?

in this place you cannot reach me.
to save my mind, my flesh forever gone.
I feel the way so deep inside me.
so much to pay, but now I’m gone.
