I don’t belong here,
but can’t escape,
shackled
by your reality,
pulled down by your gravity.
Filled up,
inside out,
the fire’s burning,
I feel your hatred,
dawn upon me,
and it’s smothering.
Depleted of breath,
devoid of blood,
everything is sinking,
surrounded by your darkness,
clutched by the neck,
I can see myself fading.
Trying to overcome,
sorrow and suffocation,
I try to scream,
and fight this desperation.
What can I do,
to expel you from my bones?
killing me each day,
you still lust for more.
Staring me right back,
like a demon from hell,
cutting yourself lose,
you feed on yourself.
Stuck in this tornado,
you revolve around me,
I try to fight you out,
but, you are part of me!!
