Closure
Sunday, July 22nd, 2007I have been seeking high and low, left and right, in and out long enough. I am on a quest searching for a full stop. I call it my little black magical dot. Far too many times I let myself dwell in the past, sickly indulging the forbidden memories; fiercely provoking yet another painful sensation that cuts through my soul like it was never mine. I anticipated hot tears to warm my cold cold face only to find nothingness. Oh I must have forgotten, it was a long time ago when I cried a river… All the tears had turned into ashes and they never since found their way back to the tear duct.
I said to myself, "Closures, you need a closure." So closures I created, many of them. It slipped my mind again. For every full stop that I drew, I had erased each and every of them with a giant eraser. I heard you, "Don’t use a pencil then, silly girl! Use a pen!" You know, mind is a powerful thing. Immediately a correction pen is created. Off you go, you pathetic little black dot.
But I insisted. I need that closure. I want it now. Haven’t I waited long enough?! Seemingly putting life on hold for a make-believe. But it sound so true! Perhaps it could be for real this time? I know you think I am nuts at this point. I wish I were. But I am more sane that ever. Yeah, very sane and extremely weak. They said, "Out of sight, out of mind." Wait! What if it’s forever etched in mind eyes?! Should I then go completely blind and totally insane to get rid of it?
I am still searching for that closure which should have been there a long time ago. But I made do with the little closures I created. Forcedly, I blinded my eyes so that I could smell the freshly cut grass, hear the nightingale and breath again. I was happy then but it was short-lived. When all the magic faded into the darkness of the night, when it came to mind once again, I found myself staring into the space, silently commanding a failed attempt to feel indiferent.
My faith is weavering. Maybe there isn’t any closure. Maybe it was there all this time and I chose to be oblivious so that I can carry on dreaming. You see, big dreamer I am. Also, a foolish one. Maybe there is only one way. I shall bury my own hatchet. Maybe it’s me. Maybe it’s not about closure. Maybe I just want to hear it, the words, the end.
All the angels in the sky, forever peace I seek, eternity serenity I plead. Make me free again!
