mental obsession

[dapperdanish]

When I try to hold it up for
inspection I suddenly find I
can't quite get a handle on it.
and yet it will creep in unannounced
and seize me in the night
- mare that i can't define,
gleefuly beating and feeding on my
mind you stay where you're safe and
where you can see the shadows
lurking in the corners of the
room is closing in I
feel the air getting tighter in
my chest aches with the knotting
fear of what is just behind the
veil of tears are making it
hard to see what is in front
of me, in me,and around me forces
are at work but are these forces
working for good or for evil
tears in my eyes I'm parched
and yet i can't stop this river
flowing out of me, draining me
dry clean only. it's time to put on
your suit yourself, I only tried to help
with it is your funeral.
