Do you remember?

Why do you want to return to that emptiness before a dream?

Do you remember the darkness?
That abyssal kiss before the light.
Screaming for air in a world too bright
Named and given a destiny
Who will you be?

Do you remember the vastness?
Of that place where no memories lie
Thinking, feeling, touching. Eldritch concepts
Unthinkable, frightening, enticing,
Who are you?

Do you remember the emptiness
That lack of you
The forgotten bits of stardust
Coalescing into a mushy something
Will you let go?

Do you remember it? Do you remember it?
A guess, a whisper, a noiseless sea.
Why is it you want to return?
To that emptiness before a dream
Will you stay?

Stay with me.
