Not Awake

I'm not awake...

I'm not sure if I ever have been. The time has crawled for me, ever turning me from one face to another. Faces I should know. Something tells me that there is something I should remember.

But I'm not asleep...

Yes, something I know for certain. Even over time, the truth is always revealed. History has shown that. The truth is always revealed in time. Mine was revealed too soon.

A world, unaware of its peril...

Yes, I know of the danger to this world. It must be protected even if its people never find out by who.

A world, unable to protect itself...

All the mighty armies of the world can not stop what's coming. I know now. I've seen into the darkness and have seen the face of the demon that will tear this world apart, starting with its people.

Yet for me, its too late to help...

Yes, yes its far too late for me to help my poor world. She smiles at me, this beautiful place in space. Yes I alone knew the rotting cancer that threatens to mar its perfect serenity.

How can I forget?

Yes, how can I ever forget that which has been emblazoned in my mind and soul for the last millenia. I must remember, must protect, and never give up.

Yet already its too late...

For despite the knowledge that I posess now and then. It is too late for me. It has been for over a year. They, my friends, worry about where I've gone. They will not know, they can not know until its far too late.

I am already dead...
