for a common enemy
coldness creeps around
searching for a shelter it has
found in me, room to breed
callouses dissolved i feel the
need, save me
feed, upon me
*consuming it contorts my sanity
deception clouds my mind so suddenly
regardless how i fight i can’t deny
the loss of all control when left with discomfort
solace justifies
segregating life from all the
lies I’ve lived, can’t relate
mounting with memories fuel my
hate, save me
feeds, upon me
*
destroys me inside
infiltrating secrets i intended to hide
surfacing the things i’ve tried to put aside
lead toward the truths i’ve always wanted to find
but found discomfort
consuming it contorts my sanity
