Imagine

It’s not just my life anymore. 

I share this body.

Her purpose is to allow me to overextend myself. 

Like an imaginary friend…

But less childish. 

She has a purpose.

She allows me to rest in the fog.

Where I feel safe and restored.

No one asks for real me anyway. 

So here I am, becoming a recluse within my own body.

She is imaginary, sure…

But I am willing to share this life, anyway. 

And let her take on my memories. 

So I can rest, comfortably.

So I can rest, selfishly.
