the shadows play across the ceiling as i spend night whatever in a row unable to sleep even as my vision grows blurry
this pounding in my skull is a nonrefundable debt to the universe for services not yet rendered
have you ever felt like maybe it was the end of the world and that knowledge came with a sense of contentment
why do i see your face in the ceiling, as if somewhere you would waste a moment’s thought on me
still the shadows play on as i curse whichever god i offended this time, forgive the sins of the poor idiot poet, he knows nothing
turn the other cheek or at least do me the common courtesy of washing your hands before striking me down
repeat the mantra, offset breathing, don’t think about her, don’t think period, try not to think about not thinking
ignore the faerie lights, they just want to milk your seed and leave a husk in the alleyway, again and again like a skipping record
the door is unlocked, i am in here nude and wide awake, maybe we both need to exorcize some demons before we can sleep
the shadows dance as sleep sits just out of reach, mocking me with an out of tune lullaby and the scent of wilted flowers
This is great writing

Unsurprisingly, “the door is unlocked, i am in here nude and wide awake, maybe we both need to exorcize some demons before we can sleep” is my absolute favorite part. Yes.

again, all true. I should lock the door though. I am ghetto adjacent.
