Fleeting Memories

November 26, 2009

Fleeting memories in a dream
A world of restless slumber
Darkness consumes my every breath
Around it wraps its deathly grip
Bony fingers in the dead of night
Squeezing
Holding
Tighter and tighter
Screams escape my mouth
Muffled by suffocation
Tears blind
Flesh bruised
Toss and turn and thrash
Tormented and bewildered
Open my eyes to realize
The hallucination has escaped
Struggle to shake it
The torturous feeling
Of death’s untimely grip
Sleep beckons once again
Fleeting memories in a dream
A world of peaceful slumber.

Through the looking glass.

I've realized that my life has become a chaotic, unrecognizable place.  I'm doing things I never thought I'd do, some good, some bad.  I've lost a few good friends, but gained several great ones.  I'm disregarding things that were once important, and replacing them with things that are now necessary for (emotional and physical) survival.  I have doubts, issues, problems, drama, all unnecessary.  I'm torn.  Being pulled in several different directions.  It's an endless whirlwind of emotions, a roller coaster ride that has lasted far too long.  Take the easy route?  Hold on through the tough times?  Continue hoping?  Or, live for me....as I declared as the clock struck midnight.  I'm young, determined, and independent.  Why do I feel so helpless?  One emotion says go, the other says stay.  One says me, the other says him.  For months, I've fought myself, convinced myself one way or the other.  For my sanity, for me, it's time.  It's time to live for me....and make the decision that best represents that resolution.  My heart is damaged from past experiences.  And this will add yet another scar.  A best friend, a lover, a companion.  Alone I am not, but alone I so feel.
Find me here, and speak to me
I want to feel you, I need to hear you
You are the light that's leading me to the place
Where I find peace again.
