perception {only read that definition if you have no preconceived notion}
In last nights slumber, those who I “perceived” ever to have left or abandoned me…{excluding the big gun of abandonment: pater familias} were ever present.
Tossing and turning, I keep waking from these dreams, opening my eyes, with a heavy heat, and even heavier heart. Choking, drowning on my perception, I was lost between reality and the subconscious.
Reunification with these faces caused a mixture of emotion to wash over me. Elation of course, only to be quickly replaced with sorrow. Memories of the paths we had taken together, replayed in my slumbering subconscious…only to be awakened, abandoned again….or of course this is my “perception”.
They are all still there. I want to leave them where I perceive them to belong. As memories; the past.
I perceive this means of subconscious communication as no accident.
I know I think a lot {others perception: too much} at night about what I perceive to weigh heavy on my mind. At the moment what weighs heavy on my mind is great fear…a great fear of myself. Am I strong enough now to risk a potential abandonment again?
More importantly: why do I perceive all others as potential risks.
Keeping others away is getting tiresome, and perhaps I am getting too “old for it”. I am not a fan of letting things pass me by, and somehow I fear lots of things are now.
So anyhow, I guess I just want to know…”when this puzzles figured out…will you still be around”?
