EGO, SOMNUM EXTERRERI III: SOLILOQUY

 
I am not here
A phantom illustration
Merging words with substance
And detracting from it
Withdrawn from reason
The other side sees


The other side sees me...


Demon inside
Calls from the id
Inundates the ego


I am not here
Cryptic puzzle mind
Injected desires
Redacts truth


A burden of opacity I bear
Tortured I, and not alone
In this house, my nature sleeps
They wither and decompose
But mine is not my own
That is stripped from the bone


I am the tithe of sorrow
As a root drinks of the liquid
Or a fungus drinks of marrow
Marrow of the soul


I am not here
Your senses blind you
Pulled the string
It is the noose of your will
A maddening cynicism imbued
And pain is the medication


The demon I hide
I can't ignore
And it calls for more


I comply
Again
And again
And again
And again
But I'm no stranger to addiction


My residence is effigurate
And when you slow, I will be there
And the moon will oscillate
Then disappear...
