Silhouette of a marionette

My body, a marionette with severed strings.

I drift like a ghost through a fog of memories.

I walk. This body, not mine. This soul, adrift in time.

Haunting echoes hide in hollow halls.

I am not here. I am not whole. I am not seen.

The night breathes softly against my skin.

The mirror’s face holds the truth I fear to see.

Living death, an existence unseen.

To live fully is to be half dead.

A heartbeat echoes through the silence of a lifeless mind.
