the rain came
down in torrents
i grew jealous
and sped home
as fast as i could
on two legs, two wheels
one flimsy frame
when i got there,
i was here and i opened
the door to find i had
nothing to fear
the house was empty
the windows boarded up,
and the sink leaking
as though it were
laughing at my predicament
i dug my nails into
my skin, punctured
a few loose veins
and let the blood
do it's thing,--
look pretty, embrace
the floor, and spread
like wildfire through
the cracks of the porcelain
skin
i fell to my knees
and wailed until the wolves
howled for silence
to return to me
and it did
but not without
fighting my screams
the noises in my head
refused to cease, and so
this continued on for days,
months, maybe even
weeks
until my beard grew
and sheltered me
from putting anything
in my mouth
my ribcage felt like
the talons of a hawk
clawing to get out
i wasn't me anymore;
the me she loved
and adored
instead,
i was much better,
albiet much worse
than ever before
i became the nightmare
i wanted to be
and sank in this reverie
until i could no longer
feel hunger
