Existing Unexisted
Chalk it up to nothingness.
I conquer truth with fear.
Slighted. So it seems.
Misunderstood.
In a world
Of so called normalcy.
I feel more than most.
My hands distort in new light.
Pupils of half bent lenses.
Stirs of ghostly emptiness.
Whose body have you?
When you move,
I cock my head in confusion.
Internalizing merely simple images,
Having no sense of real.
Experiencing your movement as my own.
Thrown into my eclipse of unnumb,
The world around me closing in
And expanding one the same.
Your words. What words?
They float around me once again,
Then shrink in the distance of my mind.
I fight for ordinary.
I pray for touch.
The touch of hand,
The touch of tear.
The touch of the present.
Presence. Your presence.
To awaken me, and pull me back in.
Inner weeping,
Gasping...
as my last breath to follow.
Misplaced within,
Destined to be once more.
For this loneliness to disappear
Into the existence of my unreality.
And become
Nothing.
For once.
Something.
I conquer truth with fear.
Slighted. So it seems.
Misunderstood.
In a world
Of so called normalcy.
I feel more than most.
My hands distort in new light.
Pupils of half bent lenses.
Stirs of ghostly emptiness.
Whose body have you?
When you move,
I cock my head in confusion.
Internalizing merely simple images,
Having no sense of real.
Experiencing your movement as my own.
Thrown into my eclipse of unnumb,
The world around me closing in
And expanding one the same.
Your words. What words?
They float around me once again,
Then shrink in the distance of my mind.
I fight for ordinary.
I pray for touch.
The touch of hand,
The touch of tear.
The touch of the present.
Presence. Your presence.
To awaken me, and pull me back in.
Inner weeping,
Gasping...
as my last breath to follow.
Misplaced within,
Destined to be once more.
For this loneliness to disappear
Into the existence of my unreality.
And become
Nothing.
For once.
Something.
