Celogen Was Built by Ghosts, for Ghosts

by Celogen

a candlelit hall by a garden; a lonely tower on the skyline; everything you ever wanted to be. how I looked toward you as the leaves turned - I remember it still, though I wouldn't expect it to be mutual. no matter who had departed, there you were, awake and unashamed. the light of a tired sun was no match for all the history inside you; you were built to be so much stronger than that. I was built to believe in you.
sometimes I wake in the night and realize I still do.
sometimes I am filled with forgiveness.

for all the multitudes you contain, there is one thing you'll never understand as long as you live: what it means to make a mistake.

I choose to know nothing else.
