In the corner of my mind

Sometime in the middle of the night I awoke and felt you inside my head, in the corner of my mind feeling your way around in the darkness as if trying to find a way out of this place in my head where you have been trapped for five years.

I don't remember how you got there, and I don't mean to hold you a prisoner inside my head. It's not as if I have not tried to set you free from that place in my mind because I have done my best to push you out through the years.

Somewhere along the line, I stopped trying because I cannot imagine what it would feel like without you there in the corner of my mind. Somehow I think it would feel cold and empty and alone. And I have become comfortable with you there, in the corner of my mind.

So if you want out, find your way and you will be free, but I know if you do, you will return, because that is where you belong, safely in that corner of my mind made just for you.

(Simple words when I thought about all the years you have been inside my head)

Simple words 109

 it feels as if i am all but gone

drifting through the mist of time

that fades away

like a vapor in the wind

felt today

but quickly forgotten


it feels as if i am all but gone

as i  call out with an empty voice

that fades away

like an echo in the wind

hollow words

that no one hears


when all is said and done, what will be the proof that i ever existed?
