They say feelings change but I don't think it's true.
Caught in the moment of me and you.
When something blossoms but there's not the chance to see it through,
So I keep waiting
Waiting for You
Nekhbet Hermit Aug 2018
I imagine myself crafting a story.  You'll be a character, with a new name.  A reanimated corpse perhaps, but it will have to do.  This is my testimony to those moments that decayed long ago.  I loved you once.  Now your memory casts a shadow in my dreams.  I see a familiar silhouette just around the corner.  I reach out with a mirage of ***** fingers.  My love is like an old crumpled photograph that has been flattened, and embedded to the inside of my eye lid.  When I close my eyes I can almost make out the image.  I tired to rip out the photo, to put it in a more appropriate place, but maybe such a photo album would be an embarrassment and I'm afraid that I'm not dexterous enough to perform such a surgery and remain intact.  So, ink and paper will have to do.  Maybe if I darken the page enough your ghost can find a home there.  It's crowded in here.  I'm not sure if I have enough space to house the two of us forever.  I never asked for my mind to become a graveyard, after all.

When thank you for being there for me
Sounds like thank you for your pain
I have great respect for you
Sounds like I respect your sacrifice
But do I respect myself?
Letting others pull on my heart strings
Like some marionette doll
I am stiff and expressionless
Moving through the motions of daily life
It's a thin line
So easily snipped

I've always done my best to avoid exposing an ***** as vital as my heart.

Silly me
Trying to be logical about my feelings.

The fan is clicking above me
round and round it goes, shaking at its joints
jolting me with memories
in a span of time so distant
I might as well have stepped into another dimension
did I fall through a doorway looking up?
Was a swallowed whole in a rainbow blur?
And lastly, are ceiling fans hidden portals or is life simply one colossal joke?

Anxiety, pressure in my chest.  Can I breathe? My heart beating faster, hard enough to hurt. Racing thoughts in my head. Closing in on myself like claustrophobia, but its my own body that is too small. My fear too large, I'm concave not convex, like a sinkhole but I've got nowhere to go...
I can't escape. I become overwhelmed and I begin to shake. The air takes on a different feel. Is this the vibration of fear? It wiggles through me, a tingling upon and through my flesh. There's a gushing in my ears. Why is it so hard just to live?
