Something has grabbed me. Smoke heavy as lead, Dragging me back with habit Towards the numbness of forgetfulness Wait, haven't I fought this before? I know how this ends. A rot, gluttonous, Creeping over my borders. I am prey, filled with fight, But dangerous patience paralyzes me, With earthly poison from its fang Isn't it odd how pleasant this is, Wrapping around me, Inviting me to stay just a little longer But what am giving up To enjoy this comfort Never mind anymore I will meet it in forgetfulness again

Forgetfulness
Something has grabbed me. Smoke heavy as lead, Dragging me back with habit Towards the numbness of forgetfulness Wait, haven't I fought this before? I know how this ends. A rot, gluttonous, Creeping over my borders. I am prey, filled with fight, But dangerous patience paralyzes me, With earthly poison from its fang Isn't it odd how pleasant this is, Wrapping around me, Inviting me to stay just a little longer But what am giving up To enjoy this comfort Never mind anymore I will meet it in forgetfulness again
