akasha pt i 05:06
i don't see you in my dreams like i used to and maybe you're still running away like you did that night during your hospice stay when you come back to me it'll all feel good again if you come back to me i hope it'll feel good again and it must smell so nice in your garden poised so high most days i'll search for that scent because i can feel you blooming all over again can't wait for you to tell me what this all means how you're perfect sweet thought i saw you in the sky but it was just the tears in my eyes they never seem to dry

i miss everyone that i have ever loved and memories are all dreams they look like infinity strings pull back the clouds i want to see your face thought i'd be long gone by the time i turned 21 the shadows bite so black when i'm with you, i'm not sad <3 pull back the clouds i want to see your face and maybe one day the world will figure out how to repeat itself and i'll get to love you all over again just like i do right now and just like i did back then it's the time looming over our heads that makes the fantasy of life so sad please don't wake me up yet i've still got so many dreams left

staking for a change but my door is shut breadwinner's sweepstakes is a lonesome den shadows skirting the staircase and their voices are ghosts scrape away at the edges but you'll never feel home cage myself in the room hung up with all the sheen fiction; but i'm fixed in pack the shadows in the baggy; it'll hurt for what it's worth believe me if you don't wanna see me i'm home from work, i've blown my worth, record the tune and watch the sounds mingle; i see them with my eyes closed soak the sins, once again, we're not friends, no amends i'm sorry! for an infinite quarry i'm sorry! for an infinite quarry all i ever wanted was a gentle light set the sky on fire what a perfect sight michael, you're so pretty in your hermit garb but don't go running in your dreams you won't make it far cage myself in the room hung up with all the sheen fiction; but i'm fixed in pack the shadows in the baggy; it'll hurt for what it's worth believe me if you don't wanna see me i'm home from work, i've blown my worth, record the tune and watch the sounds mingle; i see them with my eyes closed soak the sins, once again, we're not friends, no amends i'm sorry! for an infinite quarry i'm sorry! for an infinite quarry you might not ever know why it continues to snow don't hold up for me dear refuge will never be near IT'S ALL DEFEAT NEVER PERFECT SWEET i just want to be left alone isn't it something? we're nothing. friendly is fatal and now, we've made it here. do you feel it too? like i do? lonely is loud

watched the clouds get low today and felt my heels lift up to meet them and embrace in some matrimony of ether and soma just one more holy wind to protect me with the ash from a cigarette blossoming as my wind laps around me like a snowglobe singing all the songs that echo it's just a little boy winding it up in the bathroom all alone fleeting dark perfect sweet can't wake the parents and won't wake the siblings they're dreaming too like he does when the snowglobe echoes and when the time comes to lie down it'll all repeat itself

it's been so long since i've seen my mom and all the years of rainfall where has your boy gone scream me out of your bedroom mama why do you smoke? i'm always on my own my little shadow box never fed forever's spent bathe in your sins but you'll never feel clean soak up the sheets fabled childhood fantasy tried to forgive you but inside it's still due bound like a bible all that guilt inside you i've been thinking this over; did it hurt back then like it does right now? and concealed down to the bones the only skin my mom knows are the bits left cold despite the monsoon, the white dove's wings are bloodied maroon where have you been? the distance we feel is the only thing that's real
8.
in the end of it all what will we cling to? what's our last goodnight without i've always loved you?
9.
imagine your life without a price no pain and no loss maybe you're not gone it's pretty like that but life's not like that at heaven's gates i'll stand and wait for all my friends to get here we'll thumb our way through the akasha like it's a little scrapbook it's pretty like that i hope death is like that it's pretty like that and i love you like that

about

an exploration, an introspection, and a reflection on what finality means and how i'm learning to grapple with it. a recorded diary of 22 years of akasha. this is how i fly into myself.
