NOW
"We need to talk about Z."
"I Am Aware Of That, Cassandra."
"So, are you in...or are you out?"
******************************
THEN
I looked for him there.
At My Bar?
Searched throughout,
couldn't find him,
tore the place apart.
Did You Look In The Child's Library?
I did, even used his All-Pass Card,
even went down the hall to Room Z.
I See.
Then as I walked out,
the halls turned into a garden,
burning hot pavement under my boots,
wasn't no concrete jungle,
just stairs that never seemed to end--
That Was Roman's Lament.
Yes, a dark, obscure land,
with fog around,
leading to his Volcano,
a tomb,
like Hades' Underground,
full of fumes.
I yelled, "Romy!"
Even shouted, "Hades!"
Then I screamed for Anubis,
but then Dream stepped forward.
"We need to talk about Z."
"I Am Aware Of That, Cassandra."
"So, are you in...or are you out?"

None of who appeared were him,
Dream and his Endless Siblings,
full of sin.
Then they pushed me out,
the floor was lava,
I melted through,
came across Doc's office,
remembered my head trauma.
I pushed the door open,
screamed for answers,
I am getting tired,
where is Roman?
"H3ll0, P4t13nt F0urt33n,
said the Necromancer.
"Dr1nk?" he offered me a glass,
I know, I know,
it isn't a request,
it's an order,
why would I turn down Doc's offer?

So I take a sip of wine,
so fine,
but then the glass turns grey,
so I scream, "Hey!"
Someone spiked this drink--
hypnosis.
"W3lc0m3 h15 p5ych0515,"
And then it all turns into a fever dream,
I awake in a theater,
burnt down to flames,
if you could only see her--
The Muse,
a sculpture,
of Crazy Sexy Pants Babe,
staring down to the audience,
so blue.
Then the play begins,
and I ask myself,
comedy?
Tragedy?
But I know it's both.
Directed by the Twins,
watching over from the balcony,
like I'm in Death Row.
I hear one of him say,
"here she comes, the Fair Maiden!"
And the play begins,
but I still ask,
where is Romy?
Then Poe whispers in my ear,
"ask the Raven."
So I run out the Exit Row,
push the door open,
find myself on a beach,
sand beneath my toes,
this is X's place,
with no foes.
And his Reina finds me struggling,
she asks,
"que necesitas, chica?"
But how do I respond,
can she help me,
fix my herida?
Then I start smelling coffee,
and the sand begins to vanish,
like I am waking up from a coma,
no longer hearing Spanish.
I regain consciousness,
I see the pyramids,
a sacred place,
it's Seker's temple,
but without a trace.

I search for him,
but I can't find him,
something is wrong,
do I need to sing him a song?
"How can I say this,
without breaking,
how can I put it down to words,
and I've loved, and I've loved,
and I lost him. And it hurts like hell...
yeah it hurts like hell..."
Then the echoes down the pyramid halls,
they sing back.
And I feel my chest get heavy,
like a heart attack.
"And it hurts like hell...yeah, it Hurts Like Hell..."
Sekhmet then shows her face,
she growls at me,
makes her presence known,
no smile,
just a frown.
The last thing I feel is her paw,
hitting my face,
then in a matter of seconds,
I wake up again,
in a different hell.
I am just outside Pharaoh's Temple,
I wish it was this simple...
But only The Queen appears,
my brother Dark Green--
nowhere to be seen.
So once again, I leave the pyramids,
and I find myself at Rojo's Jungle.
The sun covers me with a blanket of warmth,
then I get hit by a swarm.
Killer bees,
or are they branches of trees?
Here she appears,
The Goddess,
she reminds me the Jungle already has a ruler,
tells me politely,
I am now an intruder.
So I leave,
and enter his Labyrinth,
you know where I am now,
I become the feast,
for now only here exists the Beast.
I cannot find Romy here either,
the walls of this maze are hollow,
I do not have bread crumbs to follow.
I feel like now I only have one room yet to see,
wish I could remember...
it rhymed with three.
So I get ready to exit,
to come out,
onto reality,
and one last time,
I shout:
"Roman! Come home."
