I remember being dizzy As I followed the spiral staircase of life. I lost my feelings somewhere inbetween the railings Someplace near the bottom? Or maybe on the steps? I used to articulate my sadness But silently fell numb; empty. Perpetually avoiding all matter. I lay here for days wishing I could sleep. Counting the passage of time, but not really. I sleep while watching my eyesight fade. Sometimes I'll ponder the beauty of making red petals. With knives I'd like to buy. I dream about the luxury of sharing them with my bathroom. To show I existed once But for now I merely exist.

Still Here. I Suppose
