it's been a while,
old friend,
since you've entered
into my head
and messed around
and stomped all rational
thoughts into
the ground.

it's been a while
but now you're here
and i can't seem to
get you
out
of my
head.

and now
my head is
swirlingandswirlingand
swirling with
thoughts/concerns/worries
and i'm questioning
everything that i've
ever done.

old friend,
you breed my darkest doubts
and expose my weakest Heart —
it's true! i am feebler than
we both realized. with just
one whisper, my heart
is being swept away and
it feels like my lungs
are drowning(downdowndowndown!)

i don't know how i
made you leave last time,
but now that you're
here, my dear friend,
come lie in the
darkness with me (&torment
me until i lose Sleep, my
loyal friend)
