The rapist chases me in my dreams until morning,
I miss each sunrise with unfocused reality.
What little time I have for myself,
Rests on such conflicting company.
Peel back the aching skin,
Hands delve into protruding bones, wrapped in tender sin,
A heart submitting to the trap of the ribcage,
Unfurl the poison of another, the tainted touch of a perfect portrait.
Madness like the drumming of a leaking tap,
Early hours are where an insomniac dies alone.
A victim of a damaged subconscious,
Do we change the world, or does the world change us?

We can pretend it didn't happen, that it doesn't exist, we can fake a smile, but in the early hours when we're alone, we think about the things we spend our day hiding and running from.
