Unmade


Let me ransack your mental warehouse of memories,

Like a mindless thief, I am looking for that particular piece of me.

Stolen moments, put in the golden vault of hidden treasures

I live in an alternated reality.

I woke up with the sense of lack, something out of place

Left in darkness, no one around me.

My head is spinning, no familiarity.

I am looking at the mirror – the face is mine and yet I feel something is missing.

Note left on the table: ‘The pleasure was mine, thanks for the sliver of you’.

I can smell your perfume on me – who are you mysterious person?

Why did you steal from me?

You slipped through the time and space like a whisper,

Your fingerprints pressed into my dreams.

I can feel you presence as if a quiet mumble is trying to explode.

I retrace every phantom step, desperate for a clue—

What did you take that I can’t remember, yet deeply feel?

My thoughts unravel like thread from a torn seam,

Each memory probed, yet none reveals your face or name.

Was it joy or was it pain, was it both you left behind so engrained in my every cell?

Or was it something purer and precious, impossible to replace?

Now I haunt my own life like a ghost in rewind,

Suspended between who I was and who I am now.

You didn’t just steal what belonged to me—

You rewrote the map I used to know somehow.

If I find you, what would I say?

Would I ask for return, or beg you to stay?

I will not plead—I’ll hunt you like the sickness I feel – a tear into your dreams until you bleed.

You split my soul and wore it like badge of honour.

Now I am the hunter and you are the prey - no more shadows—I drag you through the mud.

Each step is a new wound; each word is a steel blade.

I am not the dreamer you escaped—I am what is left

When humanity decays and can’t be unmade.

Now I am speaking to the dark walls—maybe they remember you.

I press my ear to the thick silence, hoping it shares your name.

Even my shadow recoils, sensing the war in me.

I will rewrite our past nightly, each version more and more insane.

I try to see your face in every reflection,

Yet it is still blurry, this is all what’s left.

Now everything tilts under the weight of your sweet theft.

I no longer live—I just repeat.

My world loops like a broken reel - this isn’t memory—it’s well done manipulation.

There is no end to this search—only descent.

Each clue is a well crafter trap, every answer so painfully untrue.

I used to be whole and now I’m a question that always leads back to you.

You stitched your name into my veins and now I hum it when I bleed.

The walls blink when I speak of you,

And the all clocks stop to listen – immersed in screams and agony.

I swallowed the key to our past,

But it rattles every time I breathe.

The wallpaper peels back with your smile— you are in the drywall watching me sleep.

I found your hands growing from my spine,

They clap when I cry, they beg for more and I oblige.

The bed is full of sadness and perfume— you left me here, didn’t you?

I dance with shadows that wear your face,

I feed them sugar, glass, and static noise.

They whisper that you never left with clues of what you took.

They keep saying I am lucky.

They say it is magic born from the ugliness of the circus I am living in.

Am I insane or just awake where no one should be?

The voices speak in riddles, but they know my name.

My thoughts echo back with different endings — some happy some truly deranged.

Sometimes I swear I see myself watching me from afar.

What if the thief was never real… just the unstable part of me I let slip free?
