"I fell in love the way you fall asleep: slowly, and then all at once"


I am a character
My world is just a margin
My words, product of imagination
My thoughts, displayed for interpreting eyes
My actions, described in exquisite details
My life, an endless tale

Years have passed
The ink has faded
No longer can I see
What destiny or life
The creator has for me 

I am a character
Material objects cloud my world
Systems forge my words
Thoughts have turned to dust
Actions become meaningless
In a life without a tale

To be honest I'm not exactly sure myself what this poem is all about but hopefully people can draw some kind of meaning from within the text.

@JstAnotherWriter I love it! It reminds me of my characters or OCs that I made.
