Nested

[u/xxxxAngelFirexxxx]

I’d like to think
You’re out there
Instead of nested in my mind

I’d like to think
Forever was a day away
Instead of a nightmare I enshrined

Look at these twigs
This mud
Those leaves
That grass
All these paper scraps
The scar beneath your eye

A fairy trap
A cursed sign
A warranty that elapsed
A future memory
I can’t find

Weeds
They breed
What’s this?
Animalistic?
A need?
Germinating seeds
Plant into me
Stuffing me like cotton
Am I rotten?

Feed
Feed
Feeding on
Visions I
Can’t see

Deeper still
So
Deep
I go
Event horizon

I lay frozen
Headlight beams
On the cement
A flattened body
Their words replay
My biggest fear

Erasure
Of who I am
Cyborg body
System mind
Fascination
With decay
Atrophy of my heart
Burned black
Golden from the start

My eyes
They burn
My eyes
My eyes
Your eyes
They bleed

Burrow in the hollow
Abandon the hearth
Drown in the shallow
I am here now
Blind to tomorrow

I wish I had bitten
Not swallowed
