She woke and no one was ever there.
She had no one asking for her, nothing pulling her anywhere
And for that, she could cry

Obligation was poison
She struggled and suffered against the weariness
The cold folding moments around her.
She struggled against them to float
To buoy up

Aimlessness assaulted her and she could hear in her head all the things that never happened
Never could, never did.

Until they are here, I will not be able to rest
She had lost a family but it was a family she never had
They haunted her like ghosts
She didn't want it, she didn't want to toxins
That toxic narcissism, the lies, walking through the spikes again
But with the baby left the bathwater
And she was cold
Here longing to be immersed in warm water.

It taunted her.
Yes it was as though everyone had left now she was stranded in some other land
She could neither go back
Nor live here alone

In a past life, she lost her children, her family
It was painfully unfair
She could feel it all now but what could she do with it?
It was as though she wanted to go into that scene and fix it.
How could she fight this feeling? What did it mean?
She just walked alongside it.
Or rather, he did

He was ready to hear what it was.
He said come here ancestor.
He was ready.

It was cold. It was very cold.
Tears never cried that need crying.
His body taken possession of.
Ghosts beseeched him, begged him to listen
I got your text, ancient one
