Morning has not Awoken to listen, yet
as head lights and neon signs
pass me like flickering candle lights
driving the darkness away
for split moments at a time.
I'm driving recklessly;
selfishly;
stressing down my Memory Lane
Recognizing Past Ghost Travels
Hesitating,
but continuing.
The burnt out motor struggles;
wheels are down to bare rims;
Screaming to the surface
..Of Me,
of Time,
of Past,
of the road I'm on..
Trying to spark some reaction
to my paralyzed Mind.
They are scattering sounds on my Mind's freeway
Free Way..
Free?
As if Remembering this was ever a Choice.
Hands want to turn back;
turn away from the City of Ghosts
turn back from any road leading there..
but Memory pound into me;
as cut electrifying bits of waves and particles
and a Need pin me to a Destination of Past.
Leaving my Now, broken;
I'm burnt out; fuelled out
Structure carrying ripped pieces
breaking underneath
tugging at my roots
Preying upon them..
I have cried
oh gods, I have cried rivers.
Drowned overwhelmed and out-watered
in my own rain.
My shell withering like peeled off skin
as if the rain killed the backseat's leather
as I drive down this realm of Forgotten parts
AGAIN
..never reaching my goal..
My limbs decaying like long since bloomed daisies
leaving my Core all alone,
vulnerable;
naked..
Bending in the Wind.
I'm going back for Ghosts
I'm going back for Me
For there is the process of retaliation,
lying awake seemingly without retribution
in hands of ignorant and vivid Minds;
when the city sleeps in corners of Past
Forgotten Life but Remembering Loss.
Sunshine when the day breaks
is now the only Light
that can awake my blank Mind
and bring Clear Sight
to my Soul
Although my Morning,
[however longed for]
has no place in a city of ghosts;
thus has yet to awake and Listen
..to Me
