Staring at the ceiling lost in more thoughts,
Waiting to be encompassed in sleep...

You cast your stranglehold upon my will,
Youre devouring me, vicious carnivore...

I hold you by the thread, a slender hair,
A secret smile plays along your face now...

Ageless puppets clamor to life form their hiding
Shake their dust and begin their pitter-pattering...

Can you see past your vacant lies,
draw what you see of me...

I lay still,
Afraid to move...

In the dark,
On top of the pillows...

In this town,
Of slush and sludge...

There is this girl,
Lying in insecurity...

The charcoal beast,
Swarms through the air...

It is said,
our eyes see only the surface of reality...

As I sit eating a snack,
Fragments of my world stare back...
