In my mind hides a chest—old, plain, and blank.
A withered lock for a forgotten key lingers on it;
A single light casts down upon it,
A silent, phantom field cloaks it.
You ask, "Oh, what fine treasure would I keep in such a chest?"
Well, I would gladly show you,
If only I had not locked away the key.

These walls have lost their hue,
They wear a forgotten shade of blue.
The colours they once held
Were merely light reflected back from you.
With all these rainy days,
The greys have claimed a few.
I have no more light
To shine a better view;
So I lie and pray
A rainbow casts a colour new.

Dear Indulgence,
Consume everything.
Anything.
Smoke, drink, another.
Turn out the light.
Light a fire.
Touch the flame.
Forget.
I'm weak.
Inhale.
Don't be weak.
Sip,
You're weak.
Swallow,
Be weak.
Remember.

I've lost my mind a thousand times.
This time,
I just might be okay.
But if I'm not, I'll just run off to find sanctuary in a daydream.
And when this feeling starts, I'll release my parts so I don't rip apart the seams.
I guess this is what opening up is to me.
Let me dance with the monsters in my room.
They all sing a song or few, some hand-strum a tune.
But when we all sing, we don't feel blue.
Even a demon can sing a song or two.
I spend too much time chasing memories,
Thinking of the past. Do you remember me?
Why would she?
Or why would they?
I never chose to say what I should say.
I say it now to these ghosts who don't leave.
The air tastes of grey.
The words float along the breeze that forgot to sway.
Is this what happens when you speak once you've lost your way?
I forgot the time of day,
Forgot what day it is,
Forgot myself in this place.
How does life taste?
I think I lost a firm grip...
Or did my fingers slip?
This drop is so **** long,
When will the ceiling hit?
I've even forgotten what not feeling feelings is.
I'm a hypocrite. I judged you for leaving, then jumped ship.
Or did you pirate it?
I can't swim.
I won't remember.
So I forget
All of it.
The bad, the good.
All reality,
All the things you did.
Not just the ***** things,
The best things, your smile.
I won't remember.
Why does every sad thing happen in November?
Is it just an aftereffect of September?
I started a club called No V Ember.
It's something short for...
I won't tell you.
You're not a member.
But... I remember.
...
I don't want to.
Why did you ask me to?
How could you?

I lie throughout the night,
Circling thoughts of my existence.
I wrap my blanket around me—
My shell, my cocoon.
How long before I become a butterfly?

Disconnected all emotion,
I can't move forward,
No propulsion.
Keep that fuel out my tank,
I don't want that sort of motion.
Let me rework all my wires,
Need to shut down from my circuit.
My atoms been colliding,
I've seen the Higgs boson in person.
Mentally, I'm a mess—
"Mentally" only applies to a person.
I'm a body made of A.I.s
That fragmented from conversion.
Been reanimated, now mistaken
As a chimera, not a person.
So I'm positively certain,
You can't affect me
If I'm not working.

Lately I've been staring at walls,
Sitting in silent rooms.
Alone, talking to my imagination,
Placing brick on brick,
Collecting stones and sticks,
Making tears and rips.
I've taught the grass to grow,
The wind to sway,
The sun to shine,
And water to stay.
I've watched people grow,
Seen them come and go,
Despite rain or snow.
I've seen them build homes and towns,
Move mountains to ground,
And I've seen others burn it all down.
I've walked all of this land,
Given out gifts by hand,
I met forgotten folk.
I've met gods and kings,
Deities and queens.
I've built a world.
I have seen it change,
As I, too, have changed.
This is my world,
And I still have much to do.

I watch the snow out the window,
Dancing with the wind.
Imagining,
My mind turns to dismay.
I can't help but hold disdain.
I know the snow's touch will keep me locked away,
Waiting...
Waiting for flowers to bloom.
Late swims on sunset afternoons.
Longer days and sun rays.
Oh!
Such better days.
Oh, such disdain.
So let it snow.
The feeling steams,
I can't hold back.
I scream!
You can't freeze my dreams.
I've locked the hatch,
Siliconed the seams,
Re-shingled the roof,
Insulated between the beams.
I scream!
Let it snow!
My voice lingers.
Silence plays.
I listen.
I hear time say,
"It won't be long,
Look at a snowflake.
LOOK!
Look how it took shape!
Every beginning has an end date.
Its linger is not long,
Its dance a tune of the swan's song.
As fast as it came,
It's gone.
Such are the seasons at play.
Remember this when you look
Out your window pane.
Instead, just let go and say,
Let it snow."
I let my mind stray,
Close my eyes.
As a vision plays,
A smile grows.
I feel warmth grab hold.
My mind escapes this cold.
Snow shaken off frozen bones,
I laugh.
I smile.
Haha!
I say,
Let it snow.

What is a dreamer to do,
When time fades a dream or two,
And age greys the dreamer's hue?

If these walls must reflect on the past and speak,
I fear a question they ask, rather than simply creak.
Oh!
What must that question be?
There he is, but where is she?
