Horror

intoxication /
              [i'm not really here] don't tell me--
it's not your absence that i fear, it's my loneliness,
that hollow overpowering 
                              entity
that takes over the self
                           entirely ;
my eyes are dripping out slowly, like a faucet turned
almostbutnot all the way off.                   drip.
                                                      .drip
(blindness = sanity) clarity, set me free!! 
         ,too bad,
from the flesh the soul will still see. /
                                              bodies were
                                              discovered
                                             turned inside
                                                  out. /
