you are in everything
you breathe and it incinerates my lungs
you speak and my lips become sewn shut
you stare and my eyes roll to the back of my head
you lick your lips and my tongue becomes lead
you are the air i breathe
the bitterness upon my tongue
the pain beneath my eyes
the screams within my throat
the lines that i wrote
you are contaminating everything
the room i try to hide in
the place i rest my head
the walls that do not talk
the carpets upon which i walk
you are the utensils i use to pretend to eat
you are the clothes that cover all you've already seen
you are the shower i try to wash the dirt away in
you are the phone that connects me to life
you are the pills, matches, knife
you are everywhere
the face in the mirror that isn't mine
the aroma of a house
the secret behind closed doors
the support for whores
you are infecting life
the darkness that creeps in through the cracks beneath doors
the shadows without a source in the night
the noises that scream inside my mind
the chains that eternally bind
you are the spaces between lines
you are the germs within me
you are the bubbling in my blood
you are the dirt beneath my skin
you are the hate i have within
you are contaminating my ideals
the thoughts inside my mind
the emotions without cause
the nightmares that never leave
the truth that deceives
you are spreading
the disease that eats at my soul
the shudder in the cold
the unshed tears of fright
the cause of my lasting fight
you are my contamination
not my damnation
you are my rapist
a painful cyst
you are the sibling my mother gave me
