is my worst enemy
intoxicating dreams
a brain fever awake
this shadowy woman's voice
her black tongue
making the subtle sound
that forms your name
and melts the memories of me
then, I stir
to find she was never real
and the only poison
is my restless inner eye
seeing your past & future
her, come alive
forgetting when you say
you love only me
I should believe
