The most profound isolation overtook me when I realized how easy it was to let inertia force you to go through the motions of something that no longer holds any meaning. So now I spend my life forever committing ritual acts of penance to a god that abandoned me long enough ago that I struggle to remember the prayers that once burned my tongue. I have long forgotten the theologies we devised, the myths that were spun between us have slipped from memory. Now, devoid of faith and bereft of hope, any light inside of me has been choked for air. Ever dimming, now merely a smoking ember. I have learned that I don’t know what I look like when I’m not reflected in your eyes.
