Intricate anomaly
Lay me down to sleep
Love and hate for company
Underneath the sheets

Slide into my skin again
Into my soul and heart
Open up my bloody eyes
Naked, in the dark

Positive, you optimist
Lull me into trust
Aggravate my bitterness
Your yesterdays are dust

Today, like all before it
Here I am, and I move not
Incapacitated critic
Nothing good grows from this rot
Gnawing endlessly at optimism
Snarling, at what, I forgot
