Paralyzed
My eyes open with my limbs beside me
Confined to this bed
Next to me a figure stands, crying
I am stuck in my mind
On this morning I thought I had died
I felt a stranger’s thoughts inside me
I crave your everything
Your perfect imperfections
Touch you, taste you
In our world of fake truth
Whisper your name
Your lips brushing my lobe
Half here, half there
I’ll live for this lie
It’s clearer than life
Hands gripped
Tongues break the seal
Trust is bargained, then given
To be young is to surrender to fear
Falling deeper and deeper in
Worry not
There’s still time to right my wrongs
Reverse the past and project me forth
Into a body that makes me whole
Love awaits and will bloom from this crucible
Sweating inside this cold room
It’s empty, yet I am not alone
Behind me, I saw a face from a dream
Delirium wrapped her legs around me
Echoes retrieve your voice
Bouncing off the walls into my soul
I love you
There’s nothing wrong you could do
Accusations suffocate those who follow
She who vacuums the clouds
from the mind’s sky
Let them pass
Feel them leave
Now power is surging
A freedom is born
Passion eternal
Pressure running deep in my head
from the stranger inside of me
Deep touch warps my feelings
Warps my world
Makes me sick
I warship what I once disdained
In each passing thought is a plague
A paradox
The act of waking up and working towards anything
And so I sleep and wait for the blow
And then I scream for help
But there’s no one to find me
The shadow has grown
The shadow engulfs these six walls
I cannot speak
I do not have a voice
Another night
Another stranger
In my bed
In my head
I poison myself to believe I’m inside of you
Lights flicker off, flicker on
The ditch grew and somewhere things went wrong
