Cloak of invisibility Nov. 3, 2024

  

I don’t know what to dream for, all those dreams I used to dram are all used up, discarded tissues with the resident of a past I miss – yet dare not relive.

The story always has an unhappy ending, at least, for me, while I think she fares better, having survived for so long on her wits.

She may even thrive. I don’t dare check on her progress because I still need to retain my cloak of invisibility, this thing that shields me, yet also isolates me, so I can no longer feel what I once felt, touch what I thought of as soft, the kiss I miss from a place that has ceased to exist, as if I have also ceased to exist, this dream the only one I have and so cling to that, even when I know it can  never become reality.
