You poke your horrible head out every once in a while. I can taste you on my tongue, rolling over my teeth disgusting and necrotic. You’re rotten. You crawl over me, a sick visceral feeling that settles on my guts, heaving me down to the floor. Weak and heaving. And so I Hurt myself. I’ll administer enough trust so it’s sure enough to bruise. hands over purpled skin revelling on the sensation. And so, I’m marred. It feels like a thousand prickly needles piercing me, just as you pierce my mind and every rational thought. I’m not sure you exist. I’m not sure you’re real; I’m not sure I’m real, either. You impale the basis of my being with such effortless strength, toppling pillars without a second look or regard. You make me want to ******* rip my eyelids clean off, I want the tainted ichor, once and for all to obscure my vision. And never clear. The gore corrupting my eyes So deeply they turn mildewy. decay away with the rest of me. I don’t want to see you. I don’t want to believe you exist. I will deny you. Deny you. Deny you. And deny you, once more.
