I awoke with a fright
Forcing these feelings aside, brushing the images from my mind's eye
but the harder I try, the longer they linger

I'm paralyzed under these sheets
Every shadow in this room invites new nightmares

My fibers have been completely undone and my heart aches
A snowball effect of emotions continues to build in my swollen heart; gross, agonizing pain

The colossus amount of shame, regret, fear, embarrassment and cowardice brings me crashing down
Down, into nothingness
The complete elimination of skin, bones and soul
