Time moved through me
forgetting to carry me
with her.

And I waited.

Like the businessman
at Flinders Street Station
- stagnant -
while the world passed him by,
and time moved through him,
in fast motion;
forgetting to whisper past
his cheek
and sweep the petals
from his eyes.

For he carries a garden inside,
but all gardens
need time.

I dress in black to a funeral
to mourn someone
that i used to know
and linger
let her haunt me
like a mantra  

her former skin
her former bones  
her former heart
her former mind
her former strength
her former spectra  

funny how
i am the ghost
the pale phantom
in her mirrored image
standing over
my former self.

I saw a face today
Thank God I knew his name
All I can remember really is that there was nothing deep inside
nothing seemed to be the only thing that remained the same

We talked of times since we met
And how it felt for him to watch me be
As the world did nothing but let us lie
No angel ever came
No angel ever saved me

It was just a face I knew
Then he left and I let my mind run free
I walked blinded through a bunch of faces that I’ve seen
There were voices telling me
Keep walking you forgotten friend
Then for days I didn’t say a word
I just met eyes with faces that now seem unknown
Faces I don’t think I’ll ever know

my camera hadn't moved
but the lenses did
just like my eyes hadn't shifted
but my mind would continue
to follow
my soul
as it flew
out the window
of the padded room

imagine you're just sitting down feeling alright and then all of a sudden a thought hits you. you suddenly start to think that everyone around you isn't real including yourself. you're vision starts becoming foggy. so foggy. you don't know what to do because there's absolutely nothing to do to fix this. you stare blankly at the floor, hoping this feeling goes away. but no, it doesn't just go away. it's something i deal with everyday and that haunts me daily. i feel lost, trapped, unreal, detached. i feel nothing. feeling so numb. almost like i need pain to feel alive. my heart starts racing. anxiety creeps up. i am ruined. my soul is in another dimension. im carrying my own dead body i don't even think i was ever alive. i wish i can snap out if it. but i can't. depersonalization you have taken my soul and ruined me.

It has been said
That life is an analogy
Of the consciousnesses worst fears

A paradigm of the greatest evil
Sourced from a dead dissociated system
All of your human experiences
Are only to serve the purpose
Of entertaining something
Which cannot be entertained

So this raises a practical question
Who are you?
And why are you telling me this?
The answer is this
I am the dead dissociated system
You are trapped in
And everyone you have ever known
Or will know
Is inside of you

there's this person I see so often
yet my brain has some how forgotten
I see this person in the mirror
this person fills me up with fear
this person that I see
this person is not me
there's no emotion that I feel
is my life even real?
I think I'm losing it, I really do
when will this awful feeling be through?
