Time melting on your tongue,
Cerebral cortex banging until numb.
Wasting sleep with a book.
Dodging a nightmare word by word.
Pixilized contact never to last
For on the other side
Are the destructive eyes
That tore out your insides.
Chapter after chapter
Climax rises and falls.
Tragic ending exposed:
You, all alone.
Lean on cats, novels,
Maybe even dopamine.
It won't change a thing
For your birthday, all you'll get is tears.
Crutches you choose
Crack, and can't hold the weight
Of the pathetic life you live
As your personality slowly disintegrates.
