Night Pierces My Bones

So fragile, the walls cave in

There is no relief

My haven remains no more

A premonition of a waking hell

The shades emerge in contortion

Affixed upon their broken frame

Writhing across the walls

My body benumbed where I lay

The terror of the night engulfs

The terror of the night engulfs until the soil takes me

I dream in crystalline, a false reality

Is bound to shatter, it tightens its hold on me

My eyes begin to shut, the only salvation

Disconnect in wistful ignorance

As the ache sets in

The seed of dread is sewn

Spreading within my chest

Night pierces my bones

And my gnawing pains will never

Rest

Unbroken torment

Every breath becomes deep

My cancer mating call

Ramshackle tumors like an anchor

I don't think a love so deep could be worth it at all

I dream in crystalline, a false reality

Is bound to shatter, it tightens its hold on me

The fragments eviscerate, a stasis I can't escape

Dream and waking nightmare have become the same

Unbroken torment
