Writhing with desire,
deriding control.
Night and day,
makes no difference.
Losing.
Blasé.
Tempting risks,
with a mindless oddity.
Taking it down,
with my desperation.
Threatened.
Exasperated.
It binds me,
tight and illusive.
Cruel screams,
tearing me out.
Bounded.
Escaped.
Eyes of madness,
deplores insomnia.
Feeding a mania,
I will not sleep.
Fluent.
Refused.
Craving for a requital to salvage my selfish prurience,
longing for absolute victory in a myriad of dementia.
I have caved in.
Hysteria.
