partition

"please stay back"......
The past still full of mysteries....things that seemed so right at 'that' moment don't seem all that right now.
Standing in front of the mirror...ah mirror...mirror is such a wonderful creation...it lets you see the past...to the very footsteps leading to where you are now..
Things from a world so perfect cannot be compared to what he is seeing in the mirror. The disheveled state of his hair, though he did not get up from the bed now, the tear filled eyes, gave him a more hazy picture of himself and his past. Not that it lied. Maybe this is how he should be seeing this. the light sound of music in the background only accentuating his tears rather than pacify him....he felt sorry for himself....halfway into the quicksand...and now he wants to get out...
"please stay back"....
as these words left his dry lips, i bet even his ears could not interpret it. "What's the point". It's all over now. Sometimes everything is all wrong and nothing can save the ship. It has to go.
"please stay back"......
The past has gone. He wishes that the present lasts for an eternity. But time is slipping away. He took comfort in the thought that at least the misery will not be long..ah...what a maniac!... If there was no gravity, he could have escaped all this. Damn.. 3 feet is all..he is back on earth in a moment.
The plots in his mind come back to haunt him.. maybe he should have not...or rather in a diff way..."forget it!..i can see it in the reflection, i don't need anyone to point out"....
"please come back"....
Time waits for no one....The future is just a moment away! and hoping time stays back...arggg...is something a fool would not hope...but,
"please stay back"...
Look beyond the mirror...there might be a window...a window..that will show you things that you missed...things that you came across....things that rattled you..things that helped you...OBSERVE...look at all the others...learn...take comfort...go on....

Don't struggle. You'll only sink faster. :-)
Reflections of a destructive mind?

@'smee! .. thanks! :)

@stargazer
Not of a destructive mind. More to do with a troubled mind who choses a path that sadly ends in a way that he did not expect...
destructive ? maybe.. but not intentional....

hmm. I have a gut feeling I kinda know what 'he' is going through. But then again, it'a a gut feeling. Crazy rambling, man... Dont try to get 'structure' tie you down. Keep writing like this. There was no structure when the rivers first started to flow, and look at them now!

mirrors to show the past... i never thought of it in that way.
