Eluding

The night has elude me
The dream was dreamt further
I became what I cannot be
For days that never were

I knew I am alive
I know I’m not
To the world I lie
For my world will rot

I hide myself well
For my moment to yet appear
And stumble I fell
For moments to disappear

I know I am dead
I’m not… I know
This world I hate
Yet of more to behold

The day has elude me
Myself I thought further
I became what I can only be
Because my days were never
