Tip of the tongue the teeth and the lips

Fabricated.

Fictitious.

A fake floating feeling

Falls short

Of my fleeting fantasy.

 

This insidious infirmity

Isn't what I intended.

I've been inflicted

With internal indisposition.

In need of an ideal identity.

 

Who am I without

This ****** to make me whole?

How do I heave my heart

Away from this hole?

Have you seen how hard this is?

 

But it's been short of a year,

Of believing I can simply be.

And before I break

Bleed me of my bane.

And for me, bear no malice.

 

Tightly take me

Away from my terible tempest.

Time tells me it's time to stop.

Too long I've tortured my tenemet.

Tame the tantrum tearing through me.

 

Sober seems strong,

But it's systematic survival.

Stopping the surrender

To something stimulating.

Learning to stand sedated.

 

No I'm no longer numb.

No longer neglecting my need

For new novcane.

Knowing I'll never need

This vaccine again.

 

You are all my ambition.

Dispelling my ailments

And afflictions.

I am hard to adore, I know.

You are my new addiction.

 

You have me dreaming,

Praying we are real.

Made me feel.

Don't decieve my brittle belief.

Keep me, don't leave.

 

I'm not the kind to fly.

For you i'd try to dive.

Unafraid I might die.

I don't hide from the night.

This is what I've been trying to find.
