And then the Enemy will consume you:
Regret, Remorse, Second Thoughts, and thirds.
Slowly at first, then rampant, voracious;
Take a sip from the cup,
Ease in, easy. Easy, but not as easy as you thought -
To remember Truth.
Dirty fingernails, bruised, misguided knees.
Dark circles like puddles underneath your eyes.
Something underneath the bed, whispering...
shhhhh
shhhhh

LISTEN! (what you wanted to hear)
You can't remember it!
Dirty sheets, sweating skin
Dirty sheets clinging to scents and wrinkles.
You know things about last night;
You know things that you want to forget.
Losing touch with other thoughts
You once swore never to release.
How we hide ourselves!
