From the blue black alley of my worst night terror, you reappear.
I wake, sweating a gauzy film of so many lost years.
You were that nightmare I never wanted to wake up from.
I was your stolen piece of fiction, You plagiarized my youth, Writing your own broken inventions Into the fabric of my innocence; You ripped my seams Until I was your blank canvas.
But as you came tearing your way up that alley I realized, I've been rewriting history, stitching together a past with crooked seams.
