dark invasion
i lie in bed
with my sheets crawling up
from the corners
with no energy to put them
back where they migrated from
my head numb against a yellow
pillow case feigning sunshine
in a manually darkened room
with the dark drapes blocking
out the rays of light that
i seek to hide from
where i lie on this bed
my memories blanket me and swim
through the thoughts that
threaten to smother
the remaining threads of light
finding their way through the seams
my body not drowning in desire
but running in fear rather then
face the reality of what
truth might be, which i don't know
anymore except it lies in confusion
and confusion is what lies next to me
that at the dying memory of you
where you used to spread yourself naked
next to me and i would ask you if you
were done yet, cause i was tired and i didn't
want to feel you in me anymore
now if only i could say that to my memory of you
and you would leave that simply
