owned by this, consumed by this

soft swelling beneath my 
eyelids
my head says
you need to go
back
but your pot laced 
face,
crackling hair lain against
my shoulder
a warm reminder in 
the dead of winter,
a cold sip of water
a hot innuendo
my reminder that
i am 
part
of reality
you make me 
real
but then, a faint trace of 
my enigmatic
nightmare
my hand-sewn, bitter dreams
comes rushing back to 
fill the spaces with 
dripping tears
and i curl away
and
i fade
for the 
last
time

this reminds me of the battle between 2 entities inside me: there's one that is really me and the other is trying to destroy me. like sometimes when i feel really happy or optimistic it just feels weird and wrong.
