Laughing
At me.
They're
Scorning me.
Telling me things
That I don't want to believe.
They're
Showing me things
That I don't want to see.
Wriggling out
My darkest fantasies.

Breeze is swimming
The trees are talking
Already prepared
For the flogging
Reaching out
Their spindly arms
Triggering
False alarms.

Where's the space
Outside my head?
I have escaped
Maybe I'm dead?
"Distressed be saved,"
Is what a liar said.
Wrapped in chains
Only a spool of thread.

Skull be shown
To only mine eyes
Watch as leeches
Suck out my insides.
Blood seeps
Out of every pore
Needles deep
Watch rivers pour.

Poison disintegrates
My organs
Hammers and nails
Shatter my teeth
It'll be over
In the morning
When I'm lying
Six feet beneath.

Bury me
Bury me
So far down
So far deep
Till no longer
Can I breathe
Struggling limbs
Then will cease.

Bury me
Bury me
With holes pierced
Through my body
From the knives
Of your eyes
Sing your tunes
Of the puppeteer
Light the matches
With every tear
Watch the fire
Disappear.

Am I no longer here?

Faces laugh at you
In your mirror
You can't sleep
When I am near
I still sing to you
At night, my dear
I never left
I am right here.

Tormenting you
Till you die
Your circumstances
The same as mine.
Go right now
Or wait for me
Eyes in shadows
Graves in dreams.

In the air
That you breathe
Heartbeat races
At the thought of me
Aura filled
With my essence
Are you afraid?
Given in yet?
