Passing of time
I sink just under
senses dampened
you cannot get my attention
I'm switched off from you
don't test this water
electricity runs through it
leave me alone
in a lesser world
I emerge
gentleness reimagined me
I look to you for my whole self
half dissolved, lost recollection
make the right noises
let me trust you
want me
affirm my existence
I am the product of meandering time
Life and death and frustration
Aches and potential flow through my veins
Fight and surrender jostle for space
All of the nothing and everything I could be
I don't know if the next life will be mine
Or if I am made up of memories
Maybe this never belonged to me
And I'm just carrying my part forward
As best I can
If so these days did and didn't matter
