Revelation - Aethere

This former self is dead and gone

While the ghost still haunts

Sends shivers frequently

A cold chill that reminds of the path once walked

I try not to wander

Not to drift

But it’s hard when pieces fit

I don’t know if it comes from the self-loathing

Or the deep rooted exhaustion of burning the wick at both ends

Pouring gasoline to fuel this ouroboros of sleep deprivation and caffeine

Tail in mouth, consuming until finally there is nothing left

My heart aches

I can’t fathom why or how in the slightest

Even then, this feeling never leaves

Never fails

But always lingers…

The subtle song of sorrow haunts my head

Like the ghost that follows me close

Breathing…

Waiting…

Always watching…

The keys strike slowly

Ringing quietly

Sending cold, dead, shivers down my spine

Reflecting the haunting memories and fears that consume me

Slowly unraveling the abhorrence through whispers and whimpering sounds

Dead eyes wait

Forever open to the world
