I picked apart your every imperfection
And raised them on a pedestal
I let the Gods adore you
Glorify you.

But I presume that whilst trying to find a stairway to Heaven
I trembled into the storms of Hell
For I didn’t existence in your presence
So I didn’t exist at all

I exhale.
As I fade from this life, I’ll float into the next and to eternity. I am so deeply enveloped in this world that I dissolve into all the others. My body will decompose, and I will exist again as a new collection of atoms.
I suppose through delusional, philosophical excuse I am connected to this world. And I suppose that stardust constellates and buries themselves in my bones. So I must grow in dimensions greater than height, width, and length.
But the veins of this new world are thin wires of cables and in complex codes and formulas are sent to and received by another motherless machine. Although, I’d rather break these wires and create a spark that can be felt rather than seen.
Let me ignite a craving under the continents and satisfy a spark that cannot be replicated by plastic or manipulated into energy. Let me feel the pressure of the world and the thick atmosphere that caves my posture. Let me once more feel by the fibers of kings and commoners that lace through my veins.
The world is deteriorating and has been left so deprived of life’s ecstasy that it is now hollow and I can only hear my own echoes.

I tried finding Sense.
It was troubling to discover,
To accept her misleading identity.

She is not common.
You cannot see her.
You cannot hear her.
You cannot feel her.
For she does not exist.

And it is this very absence
Where nothing exists
That I feel numb without Sense.
Makes no sense.

I thought I could see.
that I was aware      
but not really.

I thought it was real
that I could grasp it
but not really.

It was just the smudginess, the
glossy illusion    

And worst of all
in those sweet seconds
I thought I was whole                
but not really.
