dread the body i withdraw from
resent the sickness more than the cause
untrusting maw clenched, lost hound
incapable of what it takes to belong
how could i rest upon anything?
claws blunted on the edges of doorways
choked out whining into empty rooms
a wasted purpose laying still
refuse to dream without you here
the shapes twist out from the corners of my eyes
i trust in ghosts more than my own kind
illusion is kinder than a liar bearing teeth
i know it’s harsh but it’s necessary
every man is a fucking monster
so where does that leave me?
a horror amongst horrors, howling into reflections
