"missing me"

Time moves slowly, soon to lose importance…as I wander away, distancing who I am from who I was.

The pictures in my room are slowly fading…soon to be forgotten. Memories dropping behind me like a breadcrumb trail, soon to be swept up and swindled by my surroundings.

Forgetting, once a faux pas, is no longer my fault…

All that’s left…a few familiar faces and repeated rapture. I lay awake at night, afraid to close my eyes, knowing life will thieve me while I rest…replacing fond thoughts of a full life, with engulfing emptiness.

My once strong confident strut, is now an unsure shuffled walk. My bright eyes, once beacons, simply blink, sending out blank stares… my words, now incomprehensible sentences that speak solely to me.

Life now forces me into a landscape of isolation and loneliness.

Only a fraction of my former self. Moving aimlessly through an abundant world.

Alone I wander into this desert, without a fight….without a struggle.

And with, no return…..
