Chimerical (Don't Think About It)

Chimerical (Don't Think About It)

The sky has been falling apart for days now, 

All of the satellites and debris crashed through my living room, 

Splitting all of the picture frames in half. 

I was told that if you slept through a full day

Then you'll end up just fading away, 

Lost inside of a breathless vacuum

In complete nothingness. 

Maybe one day you'll come back into yourself, 

Just to find those tiny pieces of stardust still spilling into your bedroom. 

Everything buried in a pile of rubble. 

I don't know how to live when I'm surrounded by crumbling buildings, 

I don't think I'll ever realize I'm missing, 

Lost in dramatic irony. 

I'm not worried about anybody climbing through my window

In the end I just want to know if I'm still breathing.  

When all your given is the opportunity to fade out. 

Don't think about it. 

(Whatever that means)

So intense.... so raw and deep ... makes me want to shrink down and crawl into your mind... although with this piece we dont have to... you already took us there ... great write !!

I like this a lot.. you took some real things on flights of fancy and I liked where you took them.. I have seen the sky falling apart.. coming back into ones self just to find that stardust is still spilling into the room.. and only needing to know if one is still alive.. it all sounds rather trippy.. and btw... well done..

I have no words. Everytime I read something by you, it blows me away. Amazing write, my friend. You manage to stun me again. I love it.

Crap this was way righteous and strangely enough how I've been feeling of late, have I mentioned lately how talented you are? I hope you are writing for a school newspaper or something, if not they are missing out! awesome.

"I was told that if you slept through a full day
Then you'll end up just fading away,"
