Embrace Me

Embrace me.
I know you as you don't know me.
When you whisper to yourself at night
breathing words against yourself,
drowning in the oceans cried into your pillows
I'm there.

Embrace me.
I'm there as you dream of plunging
of falling down the steepness of a cliff;
as you play out how drowning would feel,
imagining the euphoria in your veins
as your lungs burn hot enough
to melt your heart right out of the rotted cavity it pains inside.
I'm there.

Embrace me.
I know you like you don't know me
because I'm that person in the back of your mind.
You can't reach out me, but I'm with you.
You'd find me behind an all-consuming wall of pills and razor blades,
camping beside the moat of liquor you've drunk
burning your midnight thoughts into the dark of sleep.
but I'm there for you.
