Sleeping With Shadows

A perfect expedient for a lonely boy
Mind full of ice and the thoughts to enjoy  
Sleepwalk for days alone in this head
No speech atonement with the shadows instead
Compensated fulfillment of destructions company
Ensnaring a sensation devoid of sincerity
Like a method acting on itself unknowingly  
 
Day long trips to the convenience proctor
Second spent hours at the Ill head doctor  
Conversing with stutter as if I'm a linguist  
A joke in a riddle or a bow on a cyst  
Apparent to the cast that I've kissed her lips  
Synthetic light pouring upon this reality eclipse
Stimulating my paranoia like a gnarled screw to vice grips  
 
Re-establishing a tie with the numbing agent  
Has been as therapy is when happiness is absent  
What a dream to hold in such boundless admiration  
To be witty and bold within my own creation  
Yet so wonderfully mundane from my peers perspective
I may stray back to this gaze so seductive  
A friend this alluring just might be productive .
