Airport

I'm sitting in the departure lounge waiting for my flight. Everyone I have ever know is sitting there with me. Everyone who I have hurt. I entered the airport today, entered the cold sterile emptiness and left behind everything I ever was.

I've checked in. They take my passport but they don't look at my picture. It doesn't matter anyway. They don't need to. They ask for my luggage, but I don't have any. I walk through security, but they don't look at me. I can't hurt anyone any more. I entered the airport today, entered the cold sterile emptiness and left behind everything I ever was.

I'm walking to the departure lounge, there is no people. No people anywhere. The big empty spaces scare me. They are clean and safe and terrifying. Noone watches me. I look out the big windows and remember that everything is muted in here. Everything on the outside looks dark. Unwelcoming. I entered the airport today, entered the cold sterile emptiness and left behind everything I ever was.

I enter the departure lounge and see everyone I've ever known. Everyone I've ever hurt. They don't look at me. They don't sing. They laugh and they cry for me. Or at me. It doesn't matter. Everything I've ever done is dead in their eyes. They don't know who I am. They don't look at me. One by one they get up and walk past me but they don't touch me, or see me, or hear me. They don't know me. They don't need to.

I walk towards the plane as they have just called my flight. I think I should look back. I think I should see everything I've ever done. I think it should break me.

I walk into the empty plane and sit down. There is only one seat. There only needs to be one. The plane waits for me. It offers me a choice. I can walk back into everything I've ever done. Or I can stay on the plane.

Noone I've ever known, noone I've ever loved, noone I've ever hurt can see the plane. They don't know I'm here. They don't miss me when I'm gone. They don't need to.

I entered the airport today, entered the cold sterile emptiness and left behind everything I ever was.
