Elegy of the Undead
I wake
To a full awareness of your presence
Daydreaming of your touch against
My quivering lips
Touching. Thinking. Feeling.
I walk
And kissed the ground where you once stood
Following every move you make
Capturing every word you speak
Feeling. Waiting. Yearning.
I breathe
Filling my lungs with your very essence
My soul bathing in your scent
Lest you disappear into some uncharted space
Yearning. Reaching. Wishing.
I feel
In the gospel of your obliviousness
And my own willful heartbeat
Uncontrolled addiction to imagined bliss
Wishing. Sobbing. Fading.
I die
In the cold darkness of your eyes and
Your unfeigned ignorance of my existence
Slowly dissolving into some remote chasm
Fading. Screaming. Dying.
Wake. Walk. Breathe. Feel.
The only way to be alive
Is when you can finally see me.
