-the Fear of Me-

sated in intrigue i rest in silence, the hush of torment is as quiet as… -me- i navigate through the threshold to the only portal i belong in; the one dimension where i can weep without distraction, without eyes gazing with tangible predictability- for pain is palpable i can feel its fire blazing through my ashen bones ~ my manic eyes patronize ~ one crimson vein that never heeds- it bleeds remorse and comforts my needs; sowing seeds with spontaneous solitude, involuntary hands clench and release, they note a brooding revelation, wearing tidings of a demure sensation- (abandoned by my strange fixation) obsessed by who i always wanted to be, becoming who i hate- fearing fate- fearing ME
