Home
It doesn't seem to touch me here
that sadness I know
would overwhelm me if I was to step outside

So I hide out
here in my sanctuary

don't tell me what day it is
don't remind me of any of this
leave me to my silence

believe in my own ability to remember
when I least want to
believe in my ability to never forget
even if I did wish to

I think I shall sleep now,
but please
lie to me when I wake up
and tell me that it was all a horrible dream
but that it will be ok now

even though I know it was
and will never be
ok

I write about a fake hope
something that I can only remember
for I can not even dream of it now
and I don't know why I do
only that I do

and yes this is me becoming wholly human
and my own self
in this, the human condition
