Entry #12
It’s been quiet for a few days and when I’m sitting here in the silence of my home. I’ve become highly aware of the clock that hangs in the kitchen. There are no kids laughing and screaming at this hour, there is no fiancé sweet talking me tonight to drown out the horrid sound. It never used to bother me, I used to never pay attention to it. It was just background noise, something that became a part of my day like the sound of my children running around or the sound of my heart beating. But now I’ve become sensitive to it, I can’t stop myself from thinking and overthinking while I’m alone. I’m suddenly overwhelmed by the onslaught of thoughts of my existence and what purpose I have here.
I seem to have lost my way.
Frozen in time and I can’t move forward nor can I move back. The clock is a reminder of the forever that I am cursed with, with the entities (now one) that were shoved into my body and a life that I did not ask for. I had come to terms with it, I came to terms with it long ago. But it still doesn’t change that it, at times, floats around in my mind as something that ‘could have been.’ Immortality sounded great growing up, thinking of all the things I could do and discover and be if I could live forever. I could travel, say that I lived through this and that. But then I made friends, I fell in love, a few times, and the thought of having a mortal being as my partner crippled me. How was I, this creature, supposed to live on without the one I loved right next to me? Without the joys of friendship, the comfort of my family? I became too aware and I suddenly didn’t like the idea of having Micah and Adrian dwelling within me. I no longer wished to have this strange life of mine and the urge to destroy myself became even stronger when the love of my life was tortured and killed in front of me. How was I supposed to live? I no longer wanted to exist and I thought of every possible way to rid of the entities that kept me alive. Thankfully he was saved in time at the hospital, but the images of his life being ripped from him will forever haunt me. Always and forever.
I’ve always thought about how it would feel like to be human. As silly as it may sound, the thought never leaves me alone, not completely. It’s only when I’m sitting in the kitchen, the clock ticking away that I start to wonder when did things get like this? I want to be able to bleed without the wound closing up in seconds, I want to endure the pain of breaking a bone, scratches and love bites. I want to die before my kids do. But as I think about these things I begin to realize how utterly pathetic I would be without Micah. I don’t rely too much on my abilities, but they have become second nature to me that I don’t realize that I’m using them. I’m not sure how long I would last with simple tasks. It makes me sad thinking about a life without my angel, without his nagging, and quiet encouragements to get me through the day. I don’t think I would be much of anything, because I don’t feel like I am. I used to feel like I had some sort of significance, but now I’m not so sure. There is always a problem, a battle with the other world and it wouldn’t be this way if I weren’t who I am. My family wouldn’t be bothered, I wouldn’t feel threatened and attacked daily, and I would feel safe if I had this ignorance to me.
But I don’t. I am forever stuck with this blessing and this curse. I will forever watch the world move forward and progress while I never change. I will watch my friends come and go, die naturally or dramatically. And I will forever be stuck with the desire to feel the sweet release of death.
….I really shouldn’t allow myself to be left alone.
