My Unseen Spirit

- I am walking in a world where I do not exist...-
- I come across a boy... sitting down... simply staring down at the ground...-
- The boy stares at the ground and I simply stare at his slumping head...-
- Then as I take a closer look, something comes and drips down the boys cheeks... they are tears... tears of sorrow...-
- I gaze at the boy... feeling empathy towards him... and I wonder what should I do...-
- So without a moment to spare... I place myself next to him... and reach for his shoulder...-
- But as I am reaching for his shoulder... it disorientates and phases through his arm... -
- I bring it back noticing it is back to the way it was... I do not exist... so I am left to stay by him and watch him shed tear by tear...-
- Filling up the puddle of water between his feet... knowing I try to get his attention so that he knows I am here... yelling... reaching to him
- But not a single movement other than the bobbing of his weeping head and the sorrow in his voice... -
- Knowing that my effort is in vain... -
- I am stuck here watching him cry until he finally halts... -
- I raise my head and hoping he has relieved his heart of sorrow... I am sadly mistaken...-
- He lifts himself from where he sat and simply walks away but as I try to reach out for him...-
- I am pulled back by my own thoughts... knowing there was no reason to try if I did not exist... -
