Frail of Mind
Alarm bells are ringing,
a familiarity forgotten.
A code I can not remember,
my brain corrupt with data.
Evolutions unwitnessed by me,
I was never invited into broken heart,
this fading away.
Your scent, recognised by my memory,
like a photograph fading in reverse.
I am in the darkroom, undeveloped,
I won't see who I'll become.
I am on display, out of sight,
my stealth is my stillness.
No one expects me here,
obligatory blindness.
Oh how I would scream,
eternities passed and you are here.
beyond all my hopes,
an impossible dream.
My heart will stop,
my thoughts will cease,
but for now,
you
are here.
