Desiderium- Until the End of Time

Summary:

"I still feel as though I am me...
but the way ahead feels lonely.

And I know — I know — the day will come when I’ll lose myself entirely,
becoming nothing more than a body with no mind,
as my thoughts grow more disturbed,
broken,
and isolated.

And as I become more distant from reality
and the ones I love…
or loved."

Just a short piece about a person suffering from memory loss and isolation, as they slowly start to lose their grasp on reality and their sense of self.

Notes:

Just a short piece I wrote in the spur of the moment. I was listening to this album called "Everywhere at the End of Time", and some of the titles for the time stamps were...hauntingly beautiful in a way? Anyway, so I got inspired to write this piece based on those titles.

If you do ever find this piece ( highly unlikely) I hope you like it? (⁠・⁠–⁠・⁠;⁠)⁠ゞ

Work Text:

The unfamiliar sounds and feels familiar.

But those were often the moments that led to isolation.

 

I feel as though you are important to me,

but I can't seem to remember why.

 

As I come across a thought of familiarity,

I just spiral into confusion and bewilderment as that drifting thought,

that burning memory, begins to deteriorate in quality,

only getting more fluid through entanglements,

repetition

and rupture.

 

As though it is a daydream being misplaced in time...

 

The more I sit and think,

the more confusion resides in me,

but at the same time,

I come to a self realisation and awareness that only brings about horror in me.

 

I lash out in frustration, 

and I’m sorry about that.

 

My mood is just generally lower... 

As I realise I am losing a raging battle within me.

 

The most important thing that makes me me

A silent war that steals the most vital parts of me,

as glimpses of memories of hope

and trying times

are lost in a Libet delay

 

"Camaraderie is now but an empty bliss beyond this world."

 

I still feel as though I am me...

but the way ahead feels lonely.

 

And I know — I know — the day will come when I’ll lose myself entirely,

becoming nothing more than a body with no mind,

as my thoughts grow more disturbed,

broken,

and isolated.

 

And as I become more distant from reality,

And the ones I love...

or loved.

 

"My heart breaks, and the thought of it leaves a burning despair that aches."

 

But soon,

this brutal bliss will hollow out into empty defeat,

as confusion settles in so thick that I forget forgetting.

 

Forget that I was supposed to feel heartache. 

 

And once that long decline is over,

my place

my mind

will finally fade away.

 

Until the end of time.
