i slip away silently, an unseen specter

where is my reason (for anything)

what do they want me to do

i don't understand (anything) 

indentations in my skin mark my slowly growing insanity

i want to bleed 

grit my teeth for the pain (both because and to feel more)

beg for anything (love & nothingness)

i know i need to keep this momentum 

slicing through the water & wanting to hurt someone (myself)

the slow vibrations reflect my exhaustion (even as his voice croons)

wild eyed with missed opportunities eating at me

i tear at my skin & watch flakes drift down

harder and harder (breathing to breathe)
