He Persuades Me Into Oblivion

He persuades me into oblivion
He feeds me sadistic scenarios that wears down my memories with rust to dust
He makes me dance while I feed him my insecurities
My overwhelming insecurities
I give in
He warms me and warns me from what did not happen but very well could
Bath me in acid and burn me to to bone
He does not sleep nor shall I
He excites me and steals my breath
Seduces me into the deep illogical insanity of oblivion
Deep into oblivion
He persuades me
Confirming my dread
How easily you could save me
You wielder of sleep
I digress further and plot my revenge
He smiles
Nods and continues
He is my guide to oblivion my mentor for lunacy
Deep into oblivion
