Sleepwalking

I looked through the oblivion,

And the rage I found still follows me.

It encapsulates my rotten core,

It drowns me when I fall asleep.

But I can never keep my secrets,

Even with the blades nearby.

Right at the corners of my mind

Muck monsters sing me lullabies.

My vessels punch a hole in me

Right when the darkness reappears.

The oblivion looks back at me,

Inflating all my sharpest fears.
