A Nightmare

A Nightmare In my dreams I am the melting man. Through tinted glass I am without senses. With eyes that feel the sting of sight and fever of hearing, I am allowed into the killing ground. I followed my friendliest faces through some foggy thick soup that does tickle my eyes and vex them to lower. Up again to this lonely temple Where so many familiarities touch the ground and my vessel with fatal hands. First kiss and polystyrene men; synthetic and terrifying. Where have I seen you before?- December 11th Close your eyes.- Here we are again. there are sweats all over i have been here so many times before and i sweat and cry the killing grounds dear mother, take me home, i sweat and cry for i have come here again take me away? where have you gone? the killing grounds the pile of death hopeless death that is violent and my poor fragile eyes sweat and cry and drip away see those empty faces of first kiss and polystyrene man i reach for mothers hand but i must linger in the mess of filth December 11 please let me leave i am losing skin falls in drips like cream or paint and i must join the filth no crying may save me.
