In a dark leech infested
swamp I found you yet again
haunting me behind the
cage that is my eyelashes

I find no peace within
my own darkness
The sacredness of my solitary
mind has been corrupted by

the demons which have
infested the remnants of
some flesh I once loved

In the swamp I am
choked
and
thrown
and
******
and
drowned

I feel it all but am paralyzed
by the curl of your lips
which seem to conceal a
glimmer of hope
