Had a dream about a one-legged spider last night.
Was it me? Wallowing in my own pity. I feel like a fool, helpless.
My only protection is the night, and I've apparently gotten caught in my own web. If you wanted me in my most vulnerable state, here I stand.

I met an amazing girl, and yet again I'm terrified. The apathy looms, and scratches at my head, while I wonder if she will leave me. I can feel the disassociation laying next to me in my bed, telling me to go back to sleep.

I don't want to hold her back. I don't want to be her shadow.
I want be her inspiration, her light. Please, let it be.
Please, don't let her leave me.

Life feels stagnant when I'm not around her. No movement from the wind, from the people, or the skies.




It all becomes empty space, for miles and miles.

I can feel the trembling in my ear, I'm afraid of myself. Worried I'll predetermine the rapture, and have you running away.

As I visualized people in my mind, and wondered,"Who are you?"
I felt a real person within my existence. I felt like a real person even if only for a moment, I felt like one of the others, one of the ones I imagine.
Yet, it's fleeting, it only comes when I feel the deepest sadness, when the rawness of this perception throws me into the ground, gets dirt in my eye.

She is in so much pain, and I can't do a **** thing because I am not real.
Ironically, probably one of the most realistic things I've ever written.

I've come to terms with myself after thinking on those words, when you claimed you never loved me.
But a hate that strong could only be for someone you once loved, so I came to the conclusion that you're full of ****. And that if I'm a ****** human being, then so be it, but that must mean you are too. Because I thrived within your being at a point in time.
We died together, and I've come back in spite of you.

I want to prove to her I'm not a *******, but the only way I could, would be moving on.
And the day that I move on will be the day that it no longer matters.
She will never know.
Yet again, another contradiction that will live until the day I die.

...So be it, I will prove it to myself.
I have moved on, and decided I will prove it to myself. You cannot control what I think of myself anymore.
