Edge of Sanity

Starve this hungry curiosity,
And satiate this undying pain,
Save me from the lonely mirrored one,
From whom I simply cannot abstain.
Just like a haunting shadowed vision,
He drowns out this solitary home,
Fills each corner of oblvion,
With the memory of all I've known.

The distortion of reality,
Only perceived by my naked eyes,
By blindfolding and suffocating,
These mutilated, desperate cries,
This single light just reinforces,
The shadow, behind me has been cast,
As a footstep that trails behind me,
Throughout this darkened and rotting past.

Allow me this darkness, over light,
To hide from what I choose not to see,
A facade built to endure it all;
Attempt to live in tranquility,
Stripped bare of previous emotions,
Living on the edge of sanity,
Has the shadow I've been running from,
All along...been the shadow of me?
