A Nightmare Zone
Everything I touch, turns into stone
Leaving behind shadows, overshone
Facing the mirror, laughing at a clone
In denial, voices muffled into drone
Hatred in my eyes, scowling begone
Decreasing circles, spiral into a cone
Supine on the floor, I’m facing prone
Blood on my hands, stabbing alone
My own admission, does not condone
Apology was rejected, I cannot atone
Keep ringing, but there’s no dial tone
Waiting for an alibi, I sit by the phone
