Slightly Less Than Dead

I stumbled on a rotten seed.
A lover of exotic breed.
In truth, I felt inclined to flee, but 'tis my nature to proceed.
I felt so blessed that I should meet a friend I knew would never leave.
A mentor that I knew would teach.
The priest of all disastrous creed.
I offered it my only key, in hopes I'd never get it back.
Fulfilled desire.
Every need.
The sound decision that I lack.

An abstract concept seemed so clear - That I'm around, but never here.
My ignorance I'd never sell.
I have the choice, but I can't tell.

A dark obsession all I had.
A happy place that makes me sad.
An antique on a broken shelf.
A glitch between the mind and self.
This empty feeling, so complete, convinced me with pathetic ease.
A labyrinth of such conceit that no one ever followed me.

It lied.
It said, "You must be fed.
There's nothing left, so die instead."​

WHOA WHATTT these lines are so good you could have literally *only* posted these lines and I would have shat my pants still.

None of it even needed to rhyme for me, those three lines are too real and so knowable to me as an individual. SCARY REAL. How did you write that.

Rarely do writers write seem like something STOLEN OUT OF MY OWN MIND. The ending of Mysterious Skin seems like one of those. Rarely do I feel this way but WHOA. Very good lines.
 
Thank you so much, man. That means more than I can say. I have been on bluelight since 2002 and I have an immense amount of respect for you. It seems like I know that just from the countless threads I've read for half my life.

I feel like I am able to put into words how I feel, but it is not from me. I get flashes of ideas and words that I have to put down that instant or it is *gone*. Oftentimes I don't know what it means for some time, or even what it really means as self-reflection.

It means so much to me that someone I truly respect honestly appreciates my words.
 
LOL I was re-reading this and the *same lines* really stood out to me

and then memoryfuckedforlife = I see my response "lol oh I already read this?"

wow. grief related memory loss is a very real thing.
