shame (2011)

you are my crux
my curse, my cross
the infection that has taken root
and swelled inside my mind's eye

i am plagued
eternally plagued

it is the very most i can do
to treat the symptoms
to dull the pain
to close the wound

it will open again
it will bleed again
and bleed and bleed and bleed
until i can staunch it
stitch it closed
conceal it

i hide from myself
from my memories
until they forget about me
spirits, ever present
roaming amongst the cobwebs
of the most forsaken catacombs
of the brain

i can hide,
but i've nowhere to run.
