Jihad

Empty, drowning all alone. It waits to forget, if just at home. Not leaving, not going, not staying away. Just letting my demon play. It rips at me, I jerk and fall down to the sheets again. Becomes my prison mentally, in this mattress you once have been. This bed belongs to you, my love, this bed belongs to you. A kick to the head, as good as dead. Or just enough to breathe. My wait is room enough to see the pain you inflicted me. My weight is why it hurts to breathe, a solution so deceived. This bed belongs to you, my love, this bed belongs to you. Those demons, I know, I guess they know me, like you once claimed so proud. The trivial things like tastes and clothes have made me hate the day. This dreaded thing between my legs is not me anyway. And like the Moon, I followed you, my Sun: essential me. Honest to the very marrow, hopefully you'll be, like my ear, and brain alike, a foolish, selfish deed. I once lied next to you, my Sun I once so followed you. This bed belongs to you, my love, this bed belongs to you.
