I hide here behind a genuine misbelief that I am special, I am different I and only I
These words are crude utensils, with which to touch you, and be touched;
Listen. There it is. The hum of perfect silence at the centre of all that is, and isn’t.
Come out, come out, wherever you are. I know you’re in here. You dirty little secret.
I read such woeful words penned by a fallen brother; his message cut me deeply. He prayed to all that’s holy that he might cry again.
I gaze down now upon the cracked and battered shell of the fearsome fiery dragon that once held me in her sway. It’s remarkable just how frail

If I could steal you out of time, there would be no place to hide. I would finish what was started when you left me here to die. It’s not vengeance which I seek,
Late at night; another helter-skelter day, having flown off unexpectedly into alien domains of disarray. So many urgent moments

There’s a voice deep inside getting stronger every day. I cannot deny the message these urgent words proclaim. Why bother?
Forgiveness? Not on your life. My life was stolen from me. For what?
I’m not really here right now. I can only be here when no-one’s a… and I know no-one can see me. Even when i speak to you, I’m sort of not really here.
