STARING IN THE FACE OF ANIMOSITY

DISARRAY BEFALLING

HOW MUCH CAN ONE GIVE BEFORE

DISAPPEARING ALTOGETHER?

A STINGING URGENCY TO ERUPT

IS GROWING WILDLY

TEARING ME FROM INSTINCT

IS THE GRASP OF THE NEED TO EVADE

LEST I AM FOREVER TO BECOME

ONE WITH THIS REFLECTION

IT IS CLEAR THAT I’VE BEEN FEEDING

FROM THIS POISON GLAND FOR FAR TOO LONG

IMAGES OF THE PAST ARE BLEEDING OVER ME

THEY WILL NOT LET ME FORGET

THE WRETCHED HISTORY OF MY CREATION

AND SO IT HAPPENS

ONCE AGAIN I AM SINKING HEAVILY

BACK TO THE PLACE FROM WHENCE I CAME

THERE IS NO QUESTION

THIS IS NEVER-ENDING

THIS IS PART OF ME

I’LL NEVER BE RID OF IT

NEVER BE RID OF IT

HOW MUCH OF ONE CAN BE GIVEN

BEFORE ALL THAT THEY ARE DISAPPEARS?
