I ache for something, this longing. I don't know. It's there, but I can't reach it. This knot, a pit in my chest. I can't breathe, but yet I can. My mind spins to the stars, but lies in a fathomless nothing. I want to break these bonds, yet I crave them. I sing them in my sleep and dream them when I wake. Lost yet here. I cry my words to the sky, but my lips are glued shut. My dry tears fill the night to sleep with the stars. My mind spins apart, while I deal with the day to day. I don't know this need, yet it is as familiar as the sun. I laugh as it burns. A glee surrounded by..... something. I don't know. Am I human? Or something else. Am I even here?
