Let them bite and devour

(do bed bugs eat beds) I can’t shut my eyes at night Delving deep in the darkness Slight splinters of light Revealing the shapes of my room But still my eyes seek deeper Let there be grotesques and horrors Rip me from my slumber Tear my shreds to shreds Let me feel the sickly breath of a non thing As it gnarled smile boasts rows of teeth Close enough to claw and scrape the skin from my bones Take me to your deranged dwelling Where I dangles as your meat The darkness fizzes with hints of grizzled greys Tired now struggling eyelids close unfettered Sleep that hopes for an end but it won’t
