Softly, slowly as the light falls.

Light.
Every good moment begins with pure light.
But like the tides turning,
The light fades into night.
A simple change.
Its just one letter.
One rule changed.
One where all is and one where nothing becomes truer and deeper.

I open my eyes at last.
This year.
This day.
This moment.
I meet my friend again as I breathe in the stiff air of my bedroom.
Another day begun.
Another day to think, to dream, to be.

"You have much to do Mark."
I do!
"We should get up quickly so we don't drift off again into sleep!"
Yeah.
And so we get up and freshen up for the day.
My friend and I.

Together we think of incredible things and we push each other toward happiness.
And shake the world and put smiles on our friends.
And we did it all together,
My friend and I.

"Mark."
Yes?
"I don't feel well."

But I push it aside.
We cant just ditch and leave paradise?
In the eye of my mind,
We made the falls roar.
We ended the wars.
My friend and I.

So I blink and its black.
Night time again.
And I sleep and he works.
Together we dream.
And a morning returns
And yesterday past.
This year?
This day.
A new moment.

"Um Mark?"
Yes?
"I don't remember what happened yesterday."
Oh, we...
Wait...
Well.
Lets just focus on today!
"Okay."
So we got up and freshened up for the day.
And together we did many things.
Gosh I just wish I could just remember...

"Mark."
Yes?
"Mark something is off."
Really? what? everything seems fine to me.
"Oh. never mind then."
"Lets just go to bed."

So I blink but its stuck.
I cant remember why.
And I dream strange dreams.
I hoped of sweet love.
But my mind flew by.

"Mark."
Mark who?
"Mark you."
Me Mark?
I am Mark?
"Yes."
Oh.

And mark did something, and then another.
And night came and went.
And years passed by.
And the joy ran dry.

But now someone just sits there.
Steaming and wasting away.
Not lost in thought but not found anywhere.

"Hey."
What do you want?
"Um...I don't remember."
Well shut up then.
"Hey."
Go away.
"But wasn't there something?"
No! there is nothing!
There was never a thing or some of any!
"Are you mad?"
No.
I am...
UGH!
I am...
Am I?
What is am?
Who is am?
Are you am?
"No."
Who are you?
"You?"
No! who are you?

Night time again.
And someone shivered all long.
Because night was forgotten.
And the world faded away.
And the feeling of feeling turned grey.
And so did a head.
And so did am's brain.
And then someone was dead.
